ModuleLearningAims Theaimsofthismoduleare:• To broaden the knowledge of a vast region such as LatinAmericathroughspecificnationalcasestudiesfocusingontheunifying theme of cultural production and conflict in theregion.• To consider the relevance of theatre and performance associal practices and sites of cultural resistance in times ofconflictinLatinAmerica.• To enable students to analyse dramatic, theatrical andcultural production at the intersection of history, law, andpolitics in modern Latin America through a representativeselection of texts that show the relevance and potentialimpactofliteraryandculturalproductionforsocialchange.

ModuleContent This module will engage with practical and theoreticalquestions of theatre and performance as social practices. Byfocusing on various theatrical outputs and their reception,payingparticularattentiontohistory,politics,nationalidentity,justice and collectivememory, thismodulewill showcase theimportance played by theatre practitioners, performers andplaywrights in Latin American in terms of validating storiesfrom subaltern groups, including indigenous communities, inrelation to power. The Peruvian theatre ensemble GrupoCulturalYuyachkani,forexample,hasplayedakeyroleinthisrespect. It accompanied the Truth and ReconciliationCommissionintheAndesafterthePeruvianDirtyWar(1980-2000), a war which claimed the lives of some 70,000 people(mostoftheminAyacucho)andledtothesterilisationofsome300,000 quechua speaking poor women, while EnriqueBuenaventura and the TEC [Teatro Experimental de Cali],continuedbyJacquelineVidal,inColombia,havebeenpioneersincollectiveeffortsbringingattentiontoviolenceandthepeaceefforts in the region.
