In this innovative study; Leo Cabranes-Grant analyzes four intercultural events in the Viceroyalty of New Spain that took place between 1566 and 1690. Rather than relying on racial labels to describe alterations of identity; Cabranes-Grant focuses on experimentation; rehearsal; and the interaction between bodies and objects. His analysis shows how scenarios are invested with affective qualities; which in turn enable cultural and semiotic change. Central to his argument is Bruno Latourrsquo;s Actor-Network Theory; which figures society as a constantly evolving web of relationships among objects; people; and spaces. In examining these scenarios; Cabranes-Grant attempts to discern the reasons why the conditions of an intensified moment within this ceaseless flow take on a particular value and inspire their re-creation. Cabranes-Grant offers a fresh perspective on Latourrsquo;s theory and reorients debates concerning history and historiography in the field of performance studies.
