Honorable Mention, 2020 Barnard Hewitt Award for Outstanding
Research in Theatre History, given by the American Society for
Theatre Research Argues that Ricanness operates as a continual
performance of bodily endurance against US colonialism In 1954,
Dolores "Lolita" Lebron and other members of the Puerto Rican
Nationalist Party led a revolutionary action on the chambers of
Congress, firing several shots at the ceiling and calling for the
independence of the island. Ricanness: Enduring Time in
Anticolonial Performance begins with Lebron's vanguard act,
distilling the relationship between Puerto Rican subjectivity,
gender, sexuality, and revolutionary performance under colonial
time. Ruiz argues that Ricanness-a continual performance of bodily
endurance against US colonialism through different measures of
time-uncovers what's at stake politically for the often unwanted,
anticolonial, racialized and sexualized enduring body. Moving among
theatre, experimental video, revolutionary protest, photography,
poetry, and durational performance art, Ricanness stages scenes in
which the philosophical, social, and psychic come together at the
site of aesthetics, against the colonization of time. Analyzing the
work of artists and revolutionaries like ADAL, Lebron, Papo Colo,
Pedro Pietri, and Ryan Rivera, Ricanness imagines a Rican future
through the time travel extended in their aesthetic interventions,
illustrating how they have reformulated time itself through
nonlinear aesthetic practices.
