Performance y cyber-performance contra la desaparición y el feminicidio en Fusco, Wolffer y Galindo

Abstract

Violence against women and femicide are two of the most profound problems facing today’s society. This article deals with the theatrical piece The Incredible Disappearing Woman (2003), by the Cuban-American artist Coco Fusco, in dialogue with other performative aesthetics from the Mexican and Guatemalan context, in particular, the work Mientras dormíamos (2002) by Lorena Wolffer and Extensión (2008) by Regina José Galindo. Based on these works, the article investigates the cyberperformance, as well as the role of the archive and the judicial-forensic material to shape their discourses on women spectralized by femicide.
