Staging words, performing worlds : intertextuality and nation in contemporary Latin American theater

"Staging Words, Performing Worlds presents new perspectives on Argentina, Cuba, Mexico, and Venezuela and their theater, by theorizing how, through performance, nation can be "re-imagined" and reconstructed. Each chapter frames the sociopolitical and theatrical national context and presents a theoretical analysis of the dramatic and ideological functions of intertexts in plays by Victor Hugo Rascon Banda, Maruxa Vilalta, Cesar Rengifo, Nestor Caballero, Eduardo Pavlovsky, and Rafael Spregelburd, among others."--Jacket
