Embodying Mexico examines two performative icons of Mexicanness--the Dance of the Old Men and Night of the Dead of Lake P?tzcuaro--in numerous manifestations; including film; theater; tourist guides; advertisements; and souvenirs. Covering a ninety-year period from the postrevolutionary era to the present day; Hellier-Tinocos analysis is thoroughly grounded in Mexican politics and history; and simultaneously incorporates choreographic; musicological; and dramaturgical analysis.Exploring multiple contexts in Mexico; the USA; and Europe; Embodying Mexico expands and enriches our understanding of complex processes of creating national icons; performance repertoires; and tourist attractions; drawing on wide-ranging ethnographic; archival; and participatory experience. An extensive companion website illustrates the authors arguments through audio and video.

Great book to help you become a stronger artist!By Dad of DivasThis is an amazing book that offers a ton of great ideas about how you can become a better artist. Filled with a number of activities that will get you drawing. While I am not a great artist this book made it easy to create some very cool art pieces. It allowed me to move forward and even create some creations that I am very proud of and the more and more that I use this the better I tend to get.
