"Performing Cities: The Performance and Politics of Place: Mexico City, New York, Montreal" offers scholars interested in the relationship between performance and the city new strategies for reading the aesthetics and politics of performances that produce urban place. It is the first extended study venturing a taxonomy of ways in which we can understand the performance-city relation, advancing acting, ritualizing, and dramatizing as vital ways in which cities materialize through performance. With attention to cultural performances (or performances that occur beyond the frame of the theatre), "Performing Cities" uses a performance studies approach to consider the role of performance in producing urban place during and after moments of major economic transition. Chapter One looks at how the Mexican state used modernist design to activate an industrializing Mexico City as an 'actor' of modernity on the world stage at the Mexico '68 Olympics. Chapter Two considers New York's vibrant disco scene of the 1970s as a ritual response to the city's fiscal and social crisis in the wake of massive suburbanization and deindustrialization. Chapter Three examines Montreal's contemporary burlesque revival scene in the context of an official creative city development policy, re2/24/2021ading both creative city development and the burlesque scene as competing dramaturgical arrangements of the cityscape. The geographic framework of this dissertation aligns itself with a growing body of scholarship in the area of hemispheric studies. It takes seriously Latin America, Canada, and Quebec, as part of "America," which Diana Taylor defines as a practice of contestation and constant remapping (1417-19). My chapters model a comparative urbanism approach called for by Jennifer Robinson, through which scholars are encouraged to "launch" concepts generated from specific case studies into wider conversations about cities throughout the world (20).

520 $a Cette these offre aux chercheurs s'interessant a la relation entre la performance et les villes de nouvelles techniques pour analyser les dimensions esthetiques et politiques des performances qui produisent les lieux urbains. Cette these est la premiere taxonomie etendue des relations entre les performances et la ville. Elle met de l'avant les actions de faire semblant, de ritualiser et de dramatiser comme des processus vitaux a la production de lieux urbains. En portant attention aux performances culturelles (ou aux performances produites au-dela des cadres theatraux traditionnels), cette these emploie une approche de performance studies pour evaluer le role de ces dernieres lors de transitions economiques majeures en milieu urbain. Le chapitre un examine comment l'etat mexicain, lors des Olympiques de Mexico en 1968, a mise sur le design moderniste pour activer Mexico comme « acteur » (dans le sens de jouer un role ou de faire semblant) de la modernite sur la scene globale. Le chapitre deux considere la scene disco de New York dans les annees 1970 comme une reponse ritualiste a la crise economique de New York due a la banlieusardisation et la desindustrialisation massives. Le chapitre trois examine la renaissance contemporaine du burlesque a Montreal dans le contexte d'un modele officiel de developpement urbain de « ville creative ». Il analyse les strategies de developpement de la ville creative et la scene contemporaine burlesque en tant qu'arrangements dramaturgiques concurrents du paysage urbain. Le cadre geographique de cette these s'aligne avec la recherche croissante dans le domaine des etudes hemispheriques. Il prend au serieux l'Amerique latine, le Canada et le Quebec en tant que parties integrantes de « l'Amerique », ce que Diana Taylor definit comme une pratique de contestation et de remappage constant (1417-19). Mes chapitres sont inspires d'une approche d'urbanisme compare pronee par Jennifer Robinson, qui encourage les chercheurs a lancer des concepts generes par des etudes de cas particuliers dans des discussions plus larges portant sur des villes a travers le monde (20).
