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.

A medida que crecen, las grandes ciudades de hoy en dia van
perdiendo significado como lugares entranables en los que los
espacios publicos cercanos como la calle y la plaza tienden a ser
lo que Auge caracterizo como "no lugares." Este libro rescata el
significado del espacio primigenio de la ciudad y puerto de
Mazatlan, desde el analisis de sus espacios emblematicos y el uso,
desuso y nuevas reutilizaciones y representaciones que sus actores
historicos les han conferido, haciendolos referentes de su
identidad. Una de las aplicaciones practicas de esta investigacion
es la Maqueta del Centro Historico de Mazatlan, cuya sede es
Recrea, ubicada en la antigua Calle del Recreo, en el Viejo
Mazatlan."
