New Issue Alert: Canadian Theatre Review 161 / Winter 2015 - Performance and Human Rights in the Americas

Performance and Human Rights in the Americas
Edited by Natalie Alvarez, Sasha Kovacs, and Jimena Ortuzar

Motivated by recent artistic and scholarly efforts to query Canada's place in the hemisphere, this issue features activists, artists, and researchers working at the intersection of performance and human rights both within and beyond Canadian borders. The performance actions examined in this issue travel across the geography and the history of the Americas in an effort to resist, redress, and protest human rights abuses. In the wake of the official opening of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg, this issue raises timely questions about how performance can serve as a potent site of inquiry that interrogates the very terms and conditions of human rights discourse, particularly in the curation of Canada as a human rights leader. While each voice in this collection speaks to a distinct issue that is harrowing in scope (femicide, genocide, institutional violence, treaty rights, food insecurity, corporate violence), all unite in their call for continental coalitions and solidarity to expand inter-American dialogue northwards and to assess Canada's role in the complex, ongoing, and unfinished history of human rights.
