Avant-Garde Performance: Live Events and Electronic Technologies (review)

This book succeeds in showing the particularity of this region and a multiplicity of contexts in which people cross and create borders. In her conclusion, she insists that border performances have the capacity to recuperate meanings alternative to structures of power (235). But the book lacks a clear and compelling way of grasping any message because, in the end, we cannot be sure what she means by “alternative meanings.” The message gets drowned in the plethora of structures of power she has invoked, and since these borders supposedly shift anyway, why search for alternative meanings at all?
