Faisal Abdu'allah FAISAL ABDU’ALLAH El arte de la dislocación / The Art of Dislocation Un proyecto de / A Project by Bárbaro Martínez-Ruiz Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno-caam, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria 3 de febrero-27 de mayo 2012 PRIMERA BOCANADA (… a mODO DE PRÓLOGO) Faisal Abdu’Allah es el autor de una de las obras más complejas, políticamente elocuentes y estéticamente arriesgadas que se han visto en el Reino Unido durante las últimas décadas. El arte de la dislocación —desde el punto de vista museográfico— supone así, una opor- tunidad única de proponer una exposición antológica y relevante de su obra, muestra que combina un número significativo de las fotografías, instalaciones e impresiones que ha creado entre la década de los ochenta hasta el año 2012. Ocurre demasiado a menudo que se ha tachado a la producción de los artistas afrobritáni- cos de ser en exceso sensible a las cuestiones sociales. La obra de Abdu’Allah lo sitúa como el primer artista individual —y el más accesible— de una generación y constituye una crónica sobre el papel crucial que han desempeñado las imágenes visuales de las comunidades afro- británica y musulmana, la estética de la violencia, la sensibilidad hacia la cultura popular y el cine en la conformación del imaginario británico contemporáneo. En su obra se aprecia una delicadeza que nos brinda una mirada a una estética cimentada tanto en una filosofía analítica de la cultura popular y de los medios, como en una historia del arte de Occidente. Tal vez el argumento predilecto de Abdu’Allah sea la utilización de «representaciones fotográficas y de la narrativa cinematográfica» para proponer un comentario acerca de la relación del espectador con determinados temas como la autorreflexión, la búsqueda de conciencia social y la puesta en tela de juicio de los estereotipos establecidos dentro del canon civil de la cultura occidental. Pero al producir su obra —de la que El Arte de la dislocación reúne diez obras-proyectos o series—, la comprensión y el uso que Abdu’Allah hace de las representaciones visuales, no deja de lado la historia y los contextos culturales en los que se originan estas imágenes y las expresiones semánticas y visuales que mani- pula re-significándolas, a las que les aporta un giro, una conexión entre el elitista mundo del arte occidental con la cultura popular u otras tradiciones culturales específicas, sean éstas británicas, musulmanas y jamaicana, o trasatlánticas de cualquier índole. Y sobre este registro que ahonda y oxigena el contexto desplazado de ambos lados del Atlántico, tanto su obra como este proyecto editorial, aquí su huella deja como principio disidente de indagación.

España FIRST MOUTHFUL (… BY WAY OF FOREWORD) Faisal Abdu’Allah has made some of the most complex, politically telling and aestheti- cally challenging works of the past several decades in the United Kingdom. The Art of Dislocation is a unique opportunity to mount a major exhibition of his work which brings together a significant number of his photographs, installations, videos and prints made between 1980’s and 2012. Abdu’Allah’s work has been highly influential on younger generations of artists and art students in the United Kingdom as well on an international scale. Too often, the art produced by Afro-British artists has been framed as being oversensi- tive to social issues. Abdu’Allah’s work situates him as the earliest and most accessible single artist of a generation and provides a commentary on the manner in which visual images of Afro-British and Muslim communities, the aesthetic of violence, popular culture sensibility and film have played a critical role in the shaping of contemporary British imagination. What Abdu’Allah’s art reacts against is the general assumption that Afro-British artistic production cannot successfully reconcile social conscience with aesthetic viability. In his work, there is a sensibility that affords a gaze at an aesthetic grounded in both an analytic philosophy of popular culture and media and a Western art history. Perhaps Abdu’Allah’s favorite theme has been his utilization of photographic rep- resentations and cinematic narrative to put forth a commentary on a general specta- tor’s relationship with topics including self-reflection, the search for social awareness and the confrontation of long-established assumptions and stereotypes. Abdu’Allah’s understanding and use of visual representations does not ignore the history and cultural contexts in which images, semantic and visual expressions originate — including the art world, popular culture or anothers specific cultural traditions, British, Muslim and Jamaican, or transatlantic of any kind. And around this registration that deepens and oxygens the displaced context at both sides of the Atlantic, his work and in this editorial project leave a trace that shows a disident principle of indignation.

LA REPRESENTACIÓN COMO PROBLEMA, O EL PROBLEMA DE LA REPRESENTACIÓN La representación artística, y por ende, sus estrictas reglas miméticas, modélicas, estereotipadas y anquilosadas en los cánones académicos occidentales, desde finales del siglo xix hasta nuestros días ha sido puesta en cuestión desde la crítica analítica como lenguaje más operativo de la visualidad. De hecho, en esa línea de investigación crítica-reflexiva de un carácter deconstructor, dislocador, trasmutador de signos y significados, sobre los lenguajes que conforman y estructuran los sistemas del Arte como campus, reside una de las directrices más radicales de la evolución ideo-estética del arte que luego se fue cosificando como los movimientos generados por la Van- guardia Histórica, la Transvanguardia —base de la Era Moderna— y que décadas más tarde se fue manifestando como uno de los ejes motores y/o motrices de la promiscua Era Post-Moderna. En otras palabras, del acto gestual y/o metodológico de cuestionar la representa- ción canónica se ha alimentado el arte de los últimos ciento cincuenta años —desde el Impresionismo hasta la actualidad—, para transformarse; o mejor, para desde este cuestionamiento de las fluctuaciones de la «re-presentación» (entendida desde esa dico- tómica idea rectora de toda lengua que asume su estructura creativa como un «volver a poner en escena el hecho del que la lengua en sí habla, como una doble presentación»), como problemática del lenguaje artístico, ponerse al día. Como bien es sabido, en gran medida, los cambios perceptuales que impulsaron los giros morfológicos mediante los cuales la representación es puesta en jaque, han estado sujetos a varios aspectos que han marcado los desplazamientos de los modos de ver (Berger in my mind). Ya sean estos desplazamientos causados por los avances de la óptica (y en especial: la fotografía, el cine y los sistemas de reproducción mecánico-mediática), los descubrimientos, la producción, explotación y distribución o circulación de las drogas, o los conflictos ideológicos universales que han provocado los conflictos étnico-religiosos 21 del siglo xx, y los problemáticas antagónicas nacidas de los fundamentalismos.

MURRAY has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by Marina Peterson Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts Tresa Randall Associate Professor of Dance, Film & Theater Margaret Kennedy-Dygas Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT MURRAY, PEGGY L., Ph.D. December 2015, Performance Studies Dancing in the Seminary: Reconstructing Dances for a 1749 Viceregal Peruvian Opera Directors of Dissertation: Marina Peterson and Tresa Randall This study explores the dance characteristics and aesthetics likely employed in Venid, venid deydades, a performance piece from mid-eighteenth-century Cusco, Peru. This seminary opera by Fray Esteban Ponce de León was composed and performed in the Seminary of San Antonio Abad to honor its rector, who was named Bishop of Paraguay. The music and libretto for the work are extant in the Seminary’s archive, yet its choreography is unknown--a common condition that impedes the understanding of dance in its historical context. This study unites diverse textual and embodied resources to re- create dances consistent with the opera’s style. Theoretically, this study analyzes the task of early dance reconstruction using Diana Taylor’s conception of the archive--historical textual material--and of the repertoire--unwritten embodied information that societies pass down over time.1 The methodological aim of the study is to provide an explained model for the process of historically informed early dance reconstruction; thus, a minuet and contradanza are reconstructed in Chapter Five.

Tragedies inspired by his death began to surface due to the efforts of the Society of Jesus, the religious order that used him to embody its theological and rhetorical agendas. This dissertation investigates the figure of San Hermenegildo as a stage character in the period comprised between 1590 and 1690. Specifically, it looks at five tragedies, two Spanish, two Italian, and one Mexican, to demonstrate how the treatment of the martyr varied widely according to geo- political and rhetorical necessities. The subtle balance between the evident consistency of the Hermenegildo theatrical trope and the many differences traceable in the individual plays illuminates the powerful ideologies and the propagandistic objectives that Jesuit theatre came to embody during the Baroque era, as well as the struggle for power happening within and without the Society of Jesus.
