Reseña del libro "Theatre as Alter/"Native" in Derek Walcott (en Inglés)"
'Theatre as Alter/"Native" in Derek Walcott' attempts a close and detailed politico-aesthetic analysis of his major plays. At the core of this book lies the attempt to answer the question of how postcolonial artists and intellectuals have dared to imagine radically different ways of living in the face of oppositional, binary choices. And as the title suggests, Walcott's plays carve out critical spaces for new narratives of "becoming" and alternative priorities, entangled in contesting identities inscribed by race, language and ethnicity. Theatre, as Walcott knew, would be instrumental in demystifying Caribbean "Absence" and "Void" and generating an alternative version of dominant reality. By a deliberate unseating of the Western texts, filled with banal stereotypes and their representational biases, and by triggering "re-action" to the scripts of the colonizers in profoundly paradoxical ways, Walcott's plays affirm the Caribbean identity. This study seeks to demonstrate how his plays open an alter/"native" universe in terms of aesthetics, dramaturgy and the performative, and reclaims 'New World' identity in terms of negotiation rather than negation-undermining the claim of "solid", "authentic" culture. Placing the arts at the forefront of nation-building, Walcott situated his plays at a crucial juncture between the passing of the Empire and the newly-born Federation in his archipelago.
