Diana Taylor’s The Archive and the Repertoire is already a classic in its genre. The book is considered one of the most important essays about thinking and re-thinking the performance inherent to the Latin American space. The author organizes an intense epistemological journey to build a broad and flexible network that illustrates the diversity comprising the performance practices. The book, organized from ultra-qualified theoretical sources, creates space to understand the extent of performances, be it in the individual body of work of unipersonal artists or in the aesthetic creation of a group, also as a political resource from the social collective.
