Performance studies scholar Diana Taylor answers that question by offering an expansive explication of presence as both ethical command and performative knowledge production. Taking the histories of state violence, colonialism, and imperialism as her starting point, Taylor situates being ¡Presente! as an embodied and performed practice of standing alongside those harmed by historical and ongoing violence. Noting that Present/e is simultaneously single and plural in English and Spanish, and drawing on Jean Luc Nancy's formulation of being singular plural, Taylor asks how presence is imbricated in questions of subject formation and collectivity. She begins with reframing the racialization of Latin Americans as a coming into presence through colonial conquest-a presence not as subjects but as subjugated objects-and asks what was made absent through this racialized process. For Taylor, the epistemicide of Indigenous, Native, and African ways of knowing stands at the center of this process of presence and absence. To counter this ongoing epistemicide, Taylor situates ¡Presente! as a performative and decolonial mode of knowledge production that decenters European Enlightenment traditions and seriously takes up Native, Indigenous, and African ways of knowledge and temporality. Grounded in performance studies, this book links knowledge to action as a doing practice, or what Taylor calls a "peripatetic strategy" that emphasis movement in learning. This book offers an expansive theory of ¡Presente! in various locations and situations: the original colonial conquest of Columbus and the Spanish; the May 1968 student protests; a study in Zapatistan autonomy; the 43 disappeared students of Ayotzinapa; queer histories of Mexico; and the former torture centers of the Pinochet dictatorship. Throughout these varied locations, Taylor weaves a methodology, theory, and practice of ¡Presente!. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of performance studies, Latin American studies, American studies, critical ethnic studies, colonial, decolonial, and postcolonial studies, and queer theory"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Presence (Philosophy) $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Performative (Philosophy) $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Performance art $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans in the performing arts. 650 0 $a Performing arts $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Knowledge, Theory of. 650 0 $a Social epistemology. 650 0 $a Eurocentrism. 650 0 $a Decolonization $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $x Race identity. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Taylor, Diana, 1950- $t ¡Presente! $d Durham : Duke University Press, 2020. $z 9781478008897 $w (DLC) 2019054635 830 0 $a Dissident acts 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220706015658.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D1D954CA047611EB89AE83802EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
