Summary "Feeling the Gaze: Image and Affect in Contemporary Argentine and Chilean Performance is the first book-length study to explore the connection between visuality and affect in Latin American theater performances. Taking Argentine and Chilean performances as models, Bulman shows how twenty-first century live performances manipulate images on stage to build an affective bond and lasting impression on spectators that sharpens the plays' socio-historical and political messaging. Through close readings of eight Southern Cone performances originally staged between 2014 and 2019 - many of which have also been performed internationally - Feeling the Gaze showcases the originality and innovation in Argentine and Chilean theater and contributes to existing scholarship on post-dramatic theater, performance studies, visual studies, cultural studies, affect studies, and world theater.
