Memory, Transitional Justice, and Theatre in Postdictatorship Argentina (Theater in the Americas) - Softcover
Book 38 of 45: Theater in the Americas
Synopsis
Author Noe Montez considers how theatre, as a site of activism, produces memory narratives that change public reception to a government’s transitional justice policies. Drawing on contemporary research in memory studies and transitional justice, Montez examines the Argentine theatre’s responses to the country’s transitional justice policies—truth and reconciliation hearings, trials, amnesties and pardons, and memorial events and spaces—that have taken place in the last decade of the twentieth century and the first two decades of the twenty-first century.
Montez explores how the sociohistorical phenomenon of the Teatroxlaidentidad—an annual showcase staged with the support of Argentina’s Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo—acted as a vehicle for drawing attention to the hundreds of children kidnapped from their families during the dictatorship and looks at why the memory narratives regarding the Malvinas Islands (also known as the Falklands) range from ideological appropriations of the islands, to absurdist commentaries about the failed war that signaled the dictatorship’s end, to the islands’ heavily contested status today.
Memory, Transitional Justice, and Theatre in Postdictatorship Argentina explores the vibrant role of theatrical engagement in postdictatorship Argentina, analyzes plays by artists long neglected in English-language articles and books, and explores the practicalities of staging performances in Latin America.

In Memory, Transitional Justice, and Theatre in Postdictatorship Argentina, author Noe Montez considers how theatre, as a site of activism, can produce memory narratives that change the public?s reception to governmental policies that address a previous regime?s human rights violations. Drawing on contemporary research in transitional justice strategies, memory studies, and theatre history, Montez examines the Argentine theatre?s responses to the numerous changes in the country?s transitional justice policies ? truth and reconciliation hearings, trials, amnesties and pardons, and memorial events and spaces ? that have taken place in the last decade of the twentieth century and the first two decades of the twenty-first century.Montez explores how the sociohistorical phenomenon of Argentina?s Teatroxlaidentidad ? an annual showcase staged with the support of Argentina?s Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo ? acted as a vehicle for drawing attention to the hundreds of children kidnapped from their families during the dictatorship and why memory narratives regarding the Malvinas Islands (also known as the Falklands) range from ideological appropriations of the islands to absurdist commentaries about the failed war that signaled the dictatorship?s end, to the islands? heavily contested status today.
