It focuses on and analyzes O demônio familiar (1857) and Mãe (1860) by José Martiniano de Alencar in the context of the foundation of the Conservatório Dramático Brasileiro in Rio de Janeiro, whose objective was to read, evaluate, and authorize plays for staging. I suggest that the spectacular representations of enslaved people should be interpreted as controlled and ritualized enunciations that, before reaching the public, had the approval of a group of journalists and writers who had the power to authorize, request modifications, or prohibit the performance. As spaces for confrontation and debate, theaters provided the forum in which Brazilians rehearsed new dynamics of social relations while grappling with questions regarding the role of Afro-descendants in a modern nation.","PeriodicalId":41320,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN THEATRE REVIEW","volume":"55 1","pages":"27 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41389724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Changes in the conception of childhood during the first part of the 20th century influenced the path taken by these artists. Children became productors and creators as well as consumers to whom it was necessary to offer quality products geared to their age. One of the artists who collaborated in this modernization process was Juan Enrique Acuña. His first two productions, \"Títeres del Verdegay\" and \"Titiritaina,\" linked to traditional forms of puppetry, constitute a prelude during which Acuña established the lines that would characterize his later projects, including dramaturgical and technical innovations. We review the elements aligned with those traditional puppets and at the same time emphasize Acuña's innovations and his reflections on these projects as a first step in the construction of modern puppet theatre.","PeriodicalId":41320,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN THEATRE REVIEW","volume":"55 1","pages":"53 - 76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47118401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

University drama schools produced a new type of actor/actress, often described as \"dramatic\" or \"cultured,\" as opposed to another kind of performer known as \"national.\" Dramatic actors religiously followed their lines and subordinated their work to the author's ideas, mastered a foreign declamatory style, and performed for an educated middle class. National actors, more focused on improvisation, drew their inspiration from the circus and other physical acting traditions. In this essay, we suggest that the difference between these two types of actors is actually more subtle. Indeed, many acting techniques commonly associated with \"national\" performers still existed during the 1960s and onwards and had an impact on \"cultured\" performers. Moreover, our research challenges a wide-spread myth according to which the great stars and divas from the golden age of Chilean theatre were intuitive \"stage animals\" who lacked any organized acting technique.","PeriodicalId":41320,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN THEATRE REVIEW","volume":"55 1","pages":"102 - 77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48477596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among these works are Malen by choreographer Ricardo Curaqueo Curiche, premiered in October 2017, and Trewa. Estado-Nación o espectro de la traición by playwright Paula González Seguel, premiered in March 2019. Both creators construct universes and stories that explicitly expose the violence to which the Mapuche have been subjected. Although each piece pertains to a different genre—contemporary dance and documentary theater—they share common elements: gender violence in the Wallmapu, the murder of members of the Mapuche community, the absence of investigation, and the lack of justice. This article reflects on Mapuche authorship in the context of the national art scene, understanding their works as an exercise of activist art capable of staging the cultural, social, and political demands of the Mapuche people. The concept of “bodies without mourning” suggested by Ileana Diéguez leads to a rethinking of the role of art and its creators in contexts marked by violence and the disappearance of marginalized collectivities in Latin America.","PeriodicalId":41320,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN THEATRE REVIEW","volume":"54 1","pages":"71 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/LTR.2021.0003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43415717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
