EMBODIED VIEWS TOWARDS THE PAST HISTORIES OF PERFORMING ARTS, ARCHIVES AND AFFECTIONS

This text broaches the problem about ways of historicizing performing practices as ephemeral events traversed by the body. If they are apparently unrecoverable once it happened, from what voices can we build their stories? Which materials set up their archives? What place does the body and memory take? After first approaches to three performing artists personal archives from La Plata -Laura Valencia, Nora Oneto, Carolina Donnantuoni- it aims to think about stage event remains as essential sources for developing the histories of local performing arts from a critical, situated and affective perspective. In addition, it considers the ways of looking towards the past that those materials, embodied memories and singular stories enable.
