Signature: Date: 9 October 2015. Details of collaboration and publications: Some parts of section 2.3 (‘Re-routing Afro-Brazilian Identity towards the African Diaspora [Áfricas, Bando de Teatro Olodum, 2007]’) have been published as part of the article: ‘On my mind’s world map, I see an Africa: Bando de Teatro Olodum’s Re- routing of Afro-Brazilian Identity’, Research in Drama Education: The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance, 19 (2014), Special Issue: ‘New Practice, New Methods, New Voices’, 287–95. 2 Abstract This doctoral thesis examines theatre as a site for counteracting hegemonic representations of the nation. My focus is on three contemporary Latin American theatre companies and the ways in which they stage the sense of place of the port cities where they are based. By examining these groups’ explorations of the political and social imaginaries related to these ports, I aim to determine how theatre can challenge essentialised discourses of national identity. An examination of the Peruvian theatre group Yuyachkani allows me to look at the place of indigenous peoples in Lima. Through a discussion of Catalinas Sur, based in Buenos Aires, I highlight the cultural identities newly produced and those erased as a consequence of mid-nineteenth-century European immigration to the city. The focus on Bando de Teatro Olodum facilitates a consideration of struggles against racial discrimination towards Afro-Brazilians in Salvador, Bahia. I propose close readings of specific productions devised by these troupes that concentrate on three main topics. The first of these is migration, examining how foreigners have infused difference in these ports. The second theme looks at conceptions of time and the third considers notions of space. In all three cases the focus allows for a questioning of dominant discourses on modernity, order and progress. Such rhetoric has been equally predominant in Peru, Brazil and Argentina and has justified exclusivist accounts of the nation since the early histories of these republics. Through recourse to performance analysis, I examine theatre’s capacity to shift the focal point of interest towards the borders of mainstream society. My claim is that this perspective allows room for presences that have been historically rendered mute and also helps to draw attention to modes of social and political organisation that differ from those naturalised by national elites. 3 Acknowledgements A number of people and institutions have made this research possible. My deepest thanks, first and foremost, have to go to Professor Maria Delgado, my supervisor. Her invaluable feedback, careful readings and sensitive advice have informed every part of this thesis. The flaws and shortcomings of this document are, of course, entirely my own. It is no exaggeration to say that without Professor Delgado’s support, this doctoral research would not have been possible. I am also grateful to the people who have read parts of this work or have discussed these ideas with me, providing me with precious insights and encouragement: Professors Paul Heritage (my second supervisor), Silvija Jestrovic and Joanne Tompkins. Special thanks are due to Professor Janelle Reinelt, who inspired me to embark on this doctoral research in the first place, while completing a master’s degree in the Theatre Department of the University of Warwick. She has been a kind-hearted, insightful mentor. I also owe gratitude to the artists who shared their work and life memories with me during periods of fieldwork for this research – the members of Yuyachkani, Catalinas Sur and Bando de Teatro Olodum. Special thanks are due to directors Chica Carelli, Márcio Meirelles, Miguel Rubio and Adhemar Biancchi, who gave me access to the groups’ archives and venues. Miguel Rubio and Adhemar Bianchi also gave me their friendship, allowing me to collaborate with their work in ways that have been stimulating and exciting. My research has benefited greatly from their support. Adhemar’s help deserves special mention. During my fieldwork in Buenos Aires, he went above and beyond what was expected, guiding me through the streets and history of La Boca, introducing me to Catalinas Sur’s cast with unbounded hospitality and inviting me to many a memorable conversation over Argentine food and wine. I am also most grateful to the many people who have strengthened my belief that friendship is as much an emotional attachment as it is a life-long commitment to generosity, trust and loyalty. Juan Carlos Carrillo, Annina Clerici (my sensible self- appointed Doktormutter), Bastián Carrillo Clerici and Flurina Carrillo Clerici welcomed me into their family during a most productive stay at their home, enjoying the many 4 pleasures of writing from libraries in Zurich. My dear Queen Mary PhD comrades Sarah Thomasson, Catriona Fallow and Hari Marini have been wonderful, loving ‘cables to earth’ during this journey. Comrade Thomasson deserves special thanks for her help with what seemed like an endless bibliography. Other friends have been particularly generous during periods of fieldwork or when hard times called for large souls: Ray Steel, Victor Krebs, Luis Treviño and Alex Skinner, Eide and Amelia Paiva, Luke Miles, and Elly Kilroy. There were also friends who accompanied me with words of support and wise advice: Barbara Gougoulis, Ben Newton, Juan Luis Cornejo, Carla Fajardo and Sylvan Baker. I also owe thanks to my family, my fixed point: ‘Give me a fixed point and I will move the world’ (Archimedes). They have taught me the importance of unconditional love as a place where I can return even after the longest, farthest journey. In particular, my mother and grandfather (mi mamá y mi Tata) have kept a fixed point alive on earth for me while being miles and oceans apart. I am also grateful to Mimi and Dico and my wonderful mamá Empecita for their love and kindness while I stayed with them in Cusco. Gratitude is also due to my dead ones. Lingering within me through sustained inner conversations, they have advised me, laughed with me, taken care of me and kept me company: my grandmother (mi Matita), my father (mi papá), my tía Nanita and my charming Kevin Sharpe. Their love and belief in me have kept me going. Finally, I am deeply grateful to the institutions that provided me with the necessary support and funding to carry out this doctoral research: Queen Mary University of London for fully funding my doctoral studies and granting me an award that helped to cover the expenses of my fieldwork in Buenos Aires, Lima and Salvador de Bahia; and the Society for Latin American Studies (SLAS, UK), whose economic support was also critical for my field research. 5 Table of Contents Introduction…………………………………………………………………….. 8 0.1 Putting ‘the Others’ in their Place………………………………………………………… 10 A.

  • Weak Rule of Law As the Primary Cause of Lower-Quality Latin American Democracies
    ABSTRACT Weak Rule of Law as the Primary Cause of Lower-Quality Latin American Democracies Dacie A. Bradley Director: Victor Hinojosa, Ph.D. Drawing on a deep tradition of rule of law literature, spanning from Aristotle to O’Donnell, this thesis argues that the main problem in modern Latin America is a weak rule of law evidenced by ineffective judicial systems unable to sustain vertical and horizontal accountability. A broad analysis of the necessary characteristics and conditions for democratic rule of law leads to mid-range theory on the application of these characteristics in combination with the unique challenges facing modern day Latin America. A case study of Peru examining crime rates and court systems supports gives evidence to the paramount importance of rule of law and its lack thereof within the state and the region as a whole. This lack of strong rule of law gives rise to a host of other current issues and undermines democratic institutions lowering the quality of democracy.

Prefiguraciones de un compromiso político Tutor: Martí Peran Máster en Estudios Avanzados en Historia del Arte Universidad de Barcelona J unio de 2016 El neo - impresionismo y la anarquía 1 El neo - impresionismo y la anarquía 2 Resumen El presente trabajo final de Máster (TFM - 1), presentado para el Máster Oficial en Estudios Avanzados en Historia del Arte de la Universidad de Barcelona, propone una lectura actualizada d el neo - impresionismo a partir del marco teórico anarquista actual . Más concretamente, el trabajo desarrolla un análisis crítico d el concepto de las políticas prefigurativas, asociadas con los movimientos de transformación social del siglo XXI, para después iluminar el comportamiento cultural, cívico y personal de los neo - impresionistas , que desarrollaro n su actividad en Francia a finales del siglo XIX . En relación con el tema de la prefiguración, el trabajo propone que la actividad de los neo - impresionistas ejemplifica una ética o metodología de la práctica muy particular, plenam ente anarquista, que refleja muchos de los preceptos entendidos en la actualidad como prefigurativos. El trabajo se inicia con la formulación de la problemática de la prefiguración anarquista en relación con el caso neo - impresionista. A continuación, se r epasa n algunas de las dificultades que se presentan en la investigación de temas anarquistas. Después, se revisa la bibliografía relacionada con la s figuras y las prefiguras, la figu ración y la prefiguración , para mejorar la comprensión de la conceptualización actual de la prefiguración anarquista .

Then, at that time, a group of six uniformed people entered abruptly, two were leading and had their faces covered. They started saying things like … miserable terrorists, you are going to get it now … they insulted us and ordered us to lay on the ground. There is the case of Tomás Livias, one of those present, he resisted … and they hit his back and chest with the butts of their rifles and threw him to the ground. One man stood up and said: I’m the one who organized this, do it to me. They shot him. They machined-gunned him and he fell. They went to the right, towards a room where … there were two girls. They went and finished them off with shots, they returned to attack us when we were on the floor. Then the massacre started…”1 This is how survivors of the Barrios Altos massacre recounted their testimony to the Comisión de la Verdad y la Reparación (CVR), Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Peru.
