O’Shea, Chair My dissertation investigates the politics of festival curation and production in artist-led theater festivals across the Portuguese-speaking (or Lusophone) world, which includes Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. I focus on uses of Lusophony as a tactics to generate alternatives to globalization, and as a response to experiences of racialization and marginalization stemming from a colonial past. I also expose the contradictory relation between Lusophony, colonialism, and globalization, which constitute obstacles for transnational tactics. I select three festivals where, I propose, the legacies of the colonial past, which include the contradictions of Lusophony, become apparent throughout the curatorial and production processes: Estação da Cena Lusófona (Portugal), Mindelact – Festival Internacional de Teatro do Mindelo (Cabo Verde), and Circuito de Teatro em Português (Brazil).

    f the past is another country, it might well be called Mozambique. In this east African nation, history is an extra element in the atmosphere, a living, breathing part of daily life that intrudes upon and retreats from one’s experience of the place like the aquamarine tides. A mural outside Maputo airport gives a quick sweep of events, depicting an unbroken stream of history from the Portuguese colonisation to the slave trade, the war of independence to the recent civil war (represented by stony- faced men in military fatigues). The past is unavoidable – but why would you want to? In a country where an IAK-47 imprints the national flag, Mozambique’s often turbid, sometimes torrid past lends a fascinating aspect to a refreshed luxury travel destination. Spirited new hotels deliver a cultural fix alongside their castaway chic – plus all the kayaking, diving, boating, beaches, private pools and first-rate cuisine that come as five-star standard in these parts. It’s a combination that few Indian Ocean locales can match. The sense of utter dislocation and off-map seclusion – bet on being the only diver on the reef for several hundred miles – the staggering natural beauty and pioneering spirit (a psychic hangover from those centuries-old explorers, now palpable in the discovery of vast reserves of precious stones, ore and gas) makes Mozambique a country for now. Ibo Island is a jungly tract of sand, palms and mangrove in the northern Quirimbas archipelago, a Unesco protected haven of 32 islands where the sea recedes to reveal vast, crenulated swirls of white sand like marbled paper.

Dissertation Advisor: Jacob Olupona Devaka Premawardhana Continuities of Change: Conversion and Convertibility in Northern Mozambique Abstract Recent scholarship on Africa gives the impression of a singular narrative regarding Pentecostalism, that of inexorable rise. Indisputably, Pentecostalism’s “explosion” throughout the global South is one of today’s more remarkable religious phenomena. Yet what can we learn by shifting attention from the places where Pentecostal churches succeed to where they fail? Attending to this question offers an opportunity to reassess a regnant theoretical paradigm within recent studies of Pentecostalism: that of discontinuity. This paradigm holds that Pentecostalism, by insisting that worshippers break with traditional practices and ancestral spirits, introduces a temporal rupture with the past.
