Description: In the eighties, at the Centro Cultural Ricardo Rojas (C.C.R.R) of the University of Buenos Aires, Batato Barea (a clown-transvestite-literary) proposed a body dramaturgy that disregarded the logic of sex-gender. In the new millennium, within the framework of the activities developed by the Gender Technologies Area of the mentioned institution, his figure was evoked, in a spectral manner, through a scenic program that dialogued with the social movement of the transvestites of Buenos Aires city. From this intersection at the C.C.R.R., author Guillermina "Mina" Bevacqua (Concepcion del Uruguay (Entre Rios), 1983) traced a theatrical cartography of sex-gender disobediences in the period 1984-2014. To give an account of the institutional profile that made this tour possible, the first part of her work, is a historiographical panorama of the Centro Cultural Ricardo Rojas. Then, in the second part, she reflects on the characterization of this cartography. Finally, the DEFORMANCE concept is explicit, as an anti-productive category under which to register the corpus of artists that participated in the institution, intermittently, throughout its 30 years.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 291-317).
