In Abject Performances Leticia Alvarado draws out the irreverent,
disruptive aesthetic strategies used by Latino artists and cultural
producers who shun standards of respectability that are typically
used to conjure concrete minority identities. In place of works
imbued with pride, redemption, or celebration, artists such as Ana
Mendieta, Nao Bustamante, and the Chicano art collective known as
Asco employ negative affects-shame, disgust, and unbelonging-to
capture experiences that lie at the edge of the mainstream,
inspirational Latino-centered social justice struggles. Drawing
from a diverse expressive archive that ranges from performance art
to performative testimonies of personal faith-based subjection,
Alvarado illuminates modes of community formation and social
critique defined by a refusal of identitarian coherence that
nonetheless coalesce into Latino affiliation and possibility.
