This course will take as its basic premise that all bodies ask to be read, whether these bodies are socially, culturally, racially, and sexually coded, or bodies of work. In this course we will trace the historical underpinnings of Latina/o performances from the 1960s to the present in order to underscore the relationship between exercises of everyday life and acts on stage. The Latina/o body is not only marked by modalities of difference, but is an essential instrument of the subject-oftentimes unheard, unsayable, and unnoticed. Therefore, in this course a double gesture in bodily reading will occur: one that brings to the fore a particular type of performance as an intellectual corpus, and the other that highlights specific enduring bodies in times. To that end, we will critically engage with performance scripts, media works of performances, theorizations of Latinidad and the body. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
