    Roper, Danielle. 2019. Blackface at the Andean Fiesta: Performing Blackness in the Danza de Caporales. Latin American Research Review 54(2), pp. 381–397. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.300 OTHER ARTS AND HUMANITIES Blackface at the Andean Fiesta: Performing Blackness in the Danza de Caporales Danielle Roper University of Chicago, US [email protected] This study assesses the deployment of blackface in a performance of the Danza de Caporales at La Fiesta de la Virgen de la Candelaria in Puno, Peru, by the performance troupe Sambos Illimani con Sentimiento y Devoción. Since blackface is so widely associated with the nineteenth- century US blackface minstrel tradition, this article develops the concept of “hemispheric blackface” to expand common understandings of the form. It historicizes Sambos’ deployment of blackface within an Andean performance tradition known as the Tundique, and then traces the way multiple hemispheric performance traditions can converge in a single blackface act. It underscores the amorphous nature of blackface itself and critically assesses its role in producing anti-blackness in the performance. Este ensayo analiza el uso de “blackface” (literalmente, cara negra: término que designa el uso de maquillaje negro cubriendo un rostro de piel más pálida) en la Danza de Caporales puesta en escena por el grupo Sambos Illimani con Sentimiento y Devoción que tuvo lugar en la fiesta de la Virgen de la Candelaria en Puno, Perú. Ya que el “blackface” es frecuentemente asociado a una tradición estadounidense del siglo XIX, este artículo desarrolla el concepto de “hemispheric blackface” (cara-negra hemisférica) para dar cuenta de elementos comunes en este género escénico.

  • A Lovely Preview! James Chapman a Bad Workman Blames His Tools
    Hello! This is a preview of a book I’m funding on Kickstarter called “A World of Wisdom” It’s a book of sayings from around the world. Some are unique to a single country, and others demonstrate ideas that are common all across the globe, they’re just expressed in different ways influenced by the culture surrounding them. It’s a lot of fun! For example, “the pot calling the kettle black” is a common English expression about not pointing out others flaws if you’re not perfect yourself. Kettles are pretty important to the people of England as we can’t get enough of that TEA. But around the world, other things capture the public eye more than kettles do, and alternate versions of this same idea have come into usage. In France, where cheese is the bees knees ‘the Roquefort tells the Camembert it stinks!” and funnily enough in Japan, “a monkey laughs at another’s red butt’. The phrases we use on a daily basis are shaped by our culture (food, weather, local wildlife) and while the sayingss in this book might seem different on the surface, the same ideas are being expressed just using different relatable comparisons. This little preview shows the first few sections of the book, with some nice sayings about dancing, and other fun comparisons, but the full book (216 pages of it) contains so much more. If you’d like to get a full copy, please support the project on Kickstarter here (starting May 1) and help bring it to life! For more information visit www.soundimals.com/ks and check twitter for updates from @chapmangamo, and with the hashtag #AWorldOfWisdom Thanks for reading a lovely preview! James Chapman a bad workman blames his tools First off, let’s see how the world looks at excuses.
