The economic crisis in Argentina in 2001-2002 that spilled over
into Uruguay causing fiscal and political problems is the starting
point for my research on space and theater, and it demonstrates why
we must look at the River Plate in both global and local ways.
Connections among monetary policies, industries, and legal, social,
and political movements mean that national spaces like Uruguay's
are fraught with tensions that come from both within and outside of
borders. Recent economic crises like the one that is occurring in
Greece, further demonstrate how nation states and trade blocks must
constantly negotiate power as they toggle between national and
international pressures. Nation states are being prompted to
reconceive perspectives on governance that fall away from the
parameters of Westphalian autonomy and reconcile their views with
trends that instead require thinking about power as a network with
shifting centers. The introduction launches the study by addressing
these political and economic trends, the spatial turn in theater
and performance studies, the rise of multiculturalism, and also
examines the Uruguayan historical context of the post-dictatorship
and impunity laws that pit national sovereignty against
international human rights laws. These crises are enacted on the
Uruguayan stage and contextualized through networks and spatial
topographies, intertextualties on the page, explorations of history
and memory, and ultimately notions of identity in four areas: the
postdramatic and economic realm (chapter one: Peveroni), cultural
geography and pyschogeography (chapter two: Morena), midrash and
questions of human rights and growing fascist trends (chapter
three: Sanguinetti), and finally in mapmaking on the stage through
mise-en-perf/performise and "wayfinding" through sites of contested
power (chapter four: Calderon). The concluding chapter (Blanco)
looks at the reinterpretation of Greek tragedy as a commentary on
the messy process of democratization. Here, access to the polis and
power are problematized through the lens of international sex
trafficking and gendered roles that exclude portions of the
populace from participation in the process of self-governance.
