This comparative study examines the strategies of re-politicization
and socialization employed in contemporary Argentine film and
theatre produced in the wake of the 1976-83 dictatorship. It
focuses on the socio-political facets of performance across a range
of films and dramatic compositions. This comparative study examines
the strategies of re-politicization and socialization employed in
contemporary Argentine film and theatre produced in the wake of the
1976-83 dictatorship. It focuses on the socio-political facets of
performance across a range of films and dramatic compositions. The
book highlights the manner in which the trope of performance
represents the place in which film and theatre experiment with
generic and mediatic hybridization. Each chapter takes as its point
of departure a series of politically motivated appropriations made
by cinema and theatre from neighboring genres/media. In each case,
genre is shown to take on the role of mediator between competing
aesthetic forms: between aesthetics and politics; aesthetic
performance and social performance; reality and fiction; postmodern
heterogeneity and an increasingly present modern anxiety regarding
the perceived need to preserveartistic purity/autonomy, thus
restoring what is specific to theatre and cinema's type of
communication. Philippa Page has managed the cultural programme at
the Maison de l'Argentine in the Cite Internationale Universitaire,
Paris and continues to research in the field of Argentine
performance studies.
