Description
Available in English for the first time, The Bodies of Others investigates, through a series of close readings of several theatrical and film productions in Europe and South America, the relationship between â?orepresentationâ?? (including theatrical representation) and ethics (defined as an ongoing relational negotiation, as opposed to a set of universal moral laws). The main concepts are exposed through a comparative analysis of historical processes, political actions and artistic works from different periods. Thus, the dialogue between the film La carrose d'or by Jean Renoir (1952) and Rosa Cuchillo by Yuyachkani (2006) serves to address the problem of the multiple meanings of representation. The dialogue between the play El SeA±or GalA-ndez by Eduardo Pavlovsky (1973), the performance The Conquest of America by Las Yeguas del Apocalipsis (1989) and the novel 2666 (2004) by Roberto BolaA±o allows the concept of an â?~ethic of the bodyâ?T to be addressed. Other key concepts such as identity, care, cruelty, violence, memory and testimony are considered through investigation of work such as Angelica Liddelâ?Ts theatre pieces, Rabih MrouAc and Lina Majdalanieâ?Ts performances, Albertina Carri, Basilio MartA-n Patino and Apichatpong Weerasethakulâ?Ts films, and Mapa Teatroâ?Ts trans-disciplinary creations.
