In !Presente! Diana Taylor asks what it means to be physically and
politically present in situations where it seems that nothing can
be done. As much an act, a word, an attitude, a theoretical
intervention, and a performance pedagogy, Taylor maps !presente! at
work in scenarios ranging from conquest, through colonial
enactments and resistance movements, to present moments of
capitalist extractivism and forced migration in the Americas.
!Presente!-present among, with, and to; a walking and talking with
others; an ontological and epistemic reflection on presence and
subjectivity as participatory and relational, founded on mutual
recognition-requires rethinking and unlearning in ways that
challenge colonial epistemologies. Showing how knowledge is not
something to be harvested but a process of being, knowing, and
acting with others, Taylor models a way for scholarship to be
present in political struggles.
