Abstract:This article tracks the two-year process of developing the Spanish-language play, Diamantina rosa: se vale bailar, and its English-language counterpart, Pink Glitter, under the travel and performance restrictions imposed by COVID. While waiting for live theatre to start up again, the creators of the play began rethinking how to do theatre in the contemporary environment. This study documents the play's development in several very different formats: the eventual scrapping of the original idea of producing a Spanish monologue/DJ set in favor of a more richly evolved in-person Spanish-language live performance with multiple actors; the very different scripts and formats for the two online English-language variations of the play; and the English-language live performance.

Abstract:Five hundred years after Christopher Columbus' voyage to the Indies, scholar John Brushwood delineated the three main offerings of America as presented in Spanish-American literature: wonder, promise and refuge. Maria Irene Fornes' dramatic collection, Letters from Cuba and Other Plays (2007), includes three pieces that correspond to the last stage of her long career as a playwright. The trilogy presents different versions of America at the turn of the millennium, all of which share the motif of the voyage across the Atlantic, although the three journeys vary in direction, length, and implications. The article argues that, despite the obvious differences in style, tone, and theme, these plays respond to preoccupations about the meaning of "discovery" and "exploration" facilitated or triggered by the Atlantic. The effective use of palimpsest, hybridity, and simultaneity as instruments for exploration in each of the three texts, combined with the concepts that Brushwood proposes, render a new cartography for the notion of America at the end of the twentieth century.

Abstract:In this study, the concept of space—mapped onto fixed and rigid gender roles—is reconceptualized by the female protagonists in three plays: Lucía Laragione’s Cocinando con Elisa, Estela Leñero’s El Codex Romanoff, and Carmen Boullosa’s Cocinar hombres. In the kitchen, a traditionally sanctioned female space, the protagonists of these three pieces feel empowered to create their own ground rules for gender identity and to reimagine alternative gender roles not confined by binary social constructs. Through their creation of what theorist Teresa De Lauretis refers to as a “space-off,” the female protagonists are able to enact individuality in a predominantly androcentric system and thereby expose a social order structured by exclusivity.
摘要:本文通过三部戏剧中的女主人公(Lucía Laragione的《Cocinando con Elisa》、Estela Leñero的《El Codex Romanoff》和Carmen Boullosa的《Cocinar hombres》)对空间概念进行了重新定义。在厨房这个传统上被认可的女性空间里,这三件作品的主角们觉得自己有能力创造自己的性别认同基本规则,并重新想象不受二元社会结构限制的另类性别角色。通过创造理论家特蕾莎·德·劳伦斯所说的“空间”,女主人公们能够在一个以男性为中心的主导体系中表现出个性,从而暴露出一个由排他性构成的社会秩序。
