Reviews

Corpus Delecti explodes...stereotypes, not by browbeating the Angloreader...but by offering a 'panorama' of perspectives on Latin American art.. <br>- PAJ; A Journal of Performance and Art, Jennie Klein <br> What is most notable about these essays ...is the degree to which they simultaneously address issues of cultureal and/or national specificity and avant-garde art production..... <br>- PAJ; A Journal of Performance and Art, Jennie Klein <br> Corpus Delecti is an important book for the history of performance art..... <br>- PAJ; A Journal of Performance and Art, Jennie Klein <br> Corpus Delecti details the forgotten past that must now be remembered, and suggests one way in which performance scholars can indeed begin to imagine a post-theatrical, post-anthropological age.. <br>- PAJ; A Journal of Performance and Art, Jennie Klein <br> The reader gains a visceral sense of a corporeal, very human landscape, a vernacular theatricality, and latinindad or different modes of Latin(a) performativity. A vivid, useful, tonally various and sometimes confrontational introduction.. <br>-S. Golub, Choice <br>
