Disappearing Acts by Diana Taylor
Looks at how national identity is shaped, gendered, and contested through spectacle and spectatorship. The specific identity in question is that of Argentina, and the focus of this book is directed toward the years 1976 to 1983 in which the Argentine armed forces were pitted against the Argentine people.
“Disappearing Acts is brilliantClearly written, passionate, informed, will-argued, interesting in the extreme, it is a model piece of scholarship.”—Richard Schechner, New York University
“Stunning, in every sense. Disappearing Acts is a compelling performance in words and in pictures of the seductions played by Argentina’s dictatorship.”—Doris Sommer, Harvard University
