In the 1930s in particular, a rich Yiddish theatre circuit was developed and supported by the city’s large population of Yiddish-speaking Jews. Buenos Aires soon became a privileged destination in the tours of itinerant Jewish artists and a theatrical center that attracted a large number of Jewish actors and directors seeking to settle on the American continent. This article focuses on the aesthetic conceptions that Jewish artists brought to Argentina and argues that Yiddish theatre served as a modernizing force that deeply influenced the larger theatre scene of Buenos Aires. With its itinerant nature and genuinely international language, Yiddish theatre brought modern ideas, avant-garde aesthetics, and new repertoires.","PeriodicalId":41320,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN THEATRE REVIEW","volume":"54 1","pages":"28 - 7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/LTR.2021.0000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47654426","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}

Nativism aimed at identifying and preserving ways of being criollo by turning to the Pampas as an idyllic space of agglutination of national values, particularly in the figure of the gaucho. But nativist drama not only grounded its ethics on principles of moral conduct but also functioned as a space for the distribution and popularization of the latest expert knowledges imported from Europe, mainly degeneration theory. This article explores a series of dramatic texts that staged the lives of the extremely impoverished, criminalized, and destitute, whom a series of scientific and literary works, ranging from criminology to psychiatry and philology, called lunfardos. Trash pickers, sex workers, unwanted immigrants, petty criminals, beggars, and marginalized children composed a living tapestry that illustrated the conditions of homeless life and its successive displacements and migrations. Enrique de Vedia’s Transfusión (1914)—a novel written almost entirely in dialogue form—and the plays En el barrio de las ranas (1910) by Enrique García Velloso, ¡Al campo! (1902) by Nicolás Granada, and Yerba Mala (1908) by José Eneas Riú warned of the endangered biological futures of healthy sectors of the population. Before the emergence in the political field of figures of deviance, drama culture put on a show to suggest that Argentine society needed to be defended against the abnormal. Animated by dreams of social prophylaxis, these fictions suggested that deviant forms of life were disassociated from progress.","PeriodicalId":41320,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN THEATRE REVIEW","volume":"54 1","pages":"119 - 143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/LTR.2021.0005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46803205","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}

In this context, the absence of dialogue and understanding leads to social, political, economic, and human alienation. Such a process is evident in Redoble fúnebre para lobos y corderos (dos monólogos y un diálogo) (1981). This study aims to show how the motive of dialogue is sustained throughout the play by the crucial need of an actual interchange between the characters on stage and the audience whom they address. The references to a shared and immediate sociopolitical context, along with the dialogue that the characters try to initiate, compel the audience to assume the role of interlocutor. The elimination of the spatial and functional distinctions between characters and spectators leads to a democratizing experience that forces the audience to engage with the social reality of the marginalized and to come to terms with their own. I argue that Radrigán fosters a reconfiguration of the passive audience—both in the theatrical space and in society as a whole—through a mutual understanding between characters and spectators that aims to activate the audience of the wider socio-political spectacle of Chile under an authoritarian regime.","PeriodicalId":41320,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN THEATRE REVIEW","volume":"54 1","pages":"117 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/LTR.2021.0004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47531512","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}
