IS PERFORMANCE STUDIES IMPERIALIST?

Abstract
En 中文
In this text, American theorist Jon McKenzie presents what he calls the embedded structure that underlies Performance Studies. McKenzie organises this structure based on an analysis of comments made and perceptions expressed by researchers and artists who are outside of the US/UK axis-which sustains the canon, the dominant trends and the language in the field. The central question investigated in this text, which is already posed in its title, reflects perceptions that are also common in Brazil, regarding the imperialism of Performance Studies. Thus, this translation, at this moment in performance research in the country and in the context of this Dossier, seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the specific place and of critical approaches to the possible dimensions of performance as a field in Brazil.
