The Year of Fabrication
Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow
2020-2022

I was selected as a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Society for the Humanities and the Department of Performing and Media Arts at Cornell University. My current book project Choreotopias: Performance, State Violence, and The Near Past uncovers experimental dance and video art in twentieth-century Mexico, and how these aesthetic forms are mediated by gender, class, and race in the face of abusive power. As a Fellow, I will be expanding the theoretical framework in my book by exploring the relationship between truth, lies, and performance. Assessing how “truth” is produced, deployed, and mediated, I will deliberate not only if and how performance activates and represents truth-telling differently from print, televisual, and digital media, but also how the logics of racialization and gender are tied to who can use performance to make truth claims. I will be teaching seminars about the politics of movement and the fabrication of truth.
