Traducción Antonio Prieto S.En el Siglo XXI, la guerra y la violencia parecen dominar todos los ámbitos de la existencia. Estados Unidos en particular es responsable de ejercer incesantes campañas militares alrededor del mundo. En este estado de cosas, ¿qué papel toca a las artes escénicas? Los estudios del performance proponen nuevas maneras de canalizar la energía creativa hacia la invención de nuevos imaginarios culturales y políticos, en respuesta a las ideologías totalitarias y colonialistas. Una nueva estética de la expresión artística se erige hoy día como "Cuarto Mundo" que busca el cambio social y cultural; un arte de resistencia y colaboración a través de fronteras nacionales y culturales, con abundantes ejemplos en el continente americano.Palabras clave: guerra, performance, estética, Cuarto Mundo, teatro social. AbstractThe 21st Century seems to be dominated by war and violence in all spheres of life. The United States is responsible for an endless stream of military campaigns around the world. What role can the performing arts play in this context? By proposing new ways of channeling creative energy towards the invention of new cultural and political imaginaries, Performance Studies present an alternative to totalitarian and colonialist ideologies. A new Fourth World of aesthetics is emerging, seeking social and cultural change through artistic expression. Examples of this collaborative art of resistance across national and cultural boundaries may be found in the work of several artists throughout the Americas.Keywords: war, performance, aesthetics, Fourth World, social theater.

The field of performance studies embraces performance behaviour of all kinds and in all contexts, from everyday life to high ceremony. This volume investigates a wide range of performance behaviour - dance, ritual, conflict situation, sports, storytelling and display behaviour - in a variety of circumstances and cultures. It considers such issues as the relationship between training and the finished performance; whether performance behaviour is universal or culturally specific; and the relationships between ritual aesthetics, popular entertainment and religion, and sports and theatre and dance. The volume brings together essays from leading anthropologists, artists and performance theorists to provide a definitive introduction to the burgeoning field of performance studies. It will be of value to scholars, teachers and students of anthropology, theatre, folklore, semiotics and performance studies

L'article interroge la pertinence actuelle des six points de contact entre théâtre et anthropologie définis en 1985 par l'auteur, Richard Schechner. À l'aide d'outils critiques caractéristiques de l'hybridité disciplinaire des Performance Studies (anthropologie, médecine, histoire), il envisage comme performances des pratiques rituelles dites « indigènes » et préhistoriques représentatives d'un « savoir incarné » délaissé ou déformé par le cadrage positiviste des sciences occidentales, et plaide pour une adaptation méthodologique à cet objet.
