| Sumario: | We propose to think about the knots of memory and violence through scenes from Cueca Sola, a dance that emerged as a form of political protest by the relatives of the detained and disappeared during the civil-military dictatorship in Chile between 1973 and 1988. Rather than reviewing the ways in which dance represents traumatic events, we want to understand it as a political action that tells a story, that of the disappeared and other victims of violence in Chile and Latin America, through a series of gestures (Bardet 2012, 2018) in which body and choreography configure a narrative form. To do this, we will take some elements from the work of Hannah Arendt in The Human Condition and the reflections of Fina Birulés, Julia Kristeva, Judith Butler and others on storytelling and the place of the dramatic arts in linking memory and politics. At the same time, we hope to bring a feminist sensibility to the question of the place of pain and grief as intimate and public affects. |
