In this innovative study, Leo Cabranes-Grant analyzes four intercultural events in the Viceroyalty of New Spain that took place between 1566 and 1690. Rather than relying on racial labels to describe alterations of identity, Cabranes-Grant focuses on experimentation, rehearsal, and the interaction between bodiesand objects. His analysis shows how scenarios are invested with affective qualities, which in turn enable cultural and semiotic change. Central to his argument is Bruno Latour’s Actor-Network Theory, which figures society as a constantly evolving web of relationships among objects, people, and spaces. In examiningthese scenarios, Cabranes-Grant attempts to discern the reasons why the conditions of an intensified moment within this ceaseless flow take on a particular value and inspire their re-creation. Cabranes-Grant offers a fresh perspective on Latour’s theory and reorients debates concerning history and historiography in the field of performance studies.

This groundbreaking work explores Søren Kierkegaard as a pioneering figure in Performance Theory, revealing how his philosophical approach anticipated contemporary Performance Studies concepts.The book examines Kierkegaard's use of pseudonyms and dialectical discourse to create a performative philosophy where thinking and doing intertwine. Chapters analyze his insights on actors' conflicted identities, the relationship between behavior and consciousness, and everyday life as scripted performance. The author draws compelling connections between Kierkegaard's 19th-century ideas and modern Performance Theory concepts developed by Richard Schechner, Diana Taylor, Peggy Phelan, and Rebecca Schneider. Through careful analysis of primary texts and historical context, the book demonstrates how Kierkegaard's dramatistic approach to existence established foundational concepts that continue to influence our understanding of performance.This book will appeal to scholars and students in philosophy, Performance Studies, and theater history. This volume will also appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of existential thought and Performance Theory.
