Jean Graham-Jones, Professor (Graduate Center / Hunter College) Ph.D. in Hispanic Languages and Literatures, University of California, Los Angeles. Major publications include Exorcising History: Argentine Theater under Dictatorship (2000), Reason Obscured: Nine Plays by Ricardo Monti (ed. and trans., 2004), and BAiT: Buenos Aires in Translation (ed. and trans., 2008). She has published articles in such journals as Theatre Journal, Theatre Survey, Theatre Research International, Latin American Theatre Review, Tramoya, and Gestos; is a former editor of Theatre Journal; and serves on the editorial board of the Latin American Theatre Review and Contemporary Theatre Review. Her research and teaching specializations include contemporary and colonial Latin American (especially Argentine) theatre and performance in addition to theatre, performance, and cultural theories. Her current research focuses on theatrical and extratheatrical responses to the ongoing socioeconomic crisis in Argentina and the national performances of such Argentinean “femiconic” figures as Camila O’Gorman, Eva Perón, and the Virgin of Luján. Most recently, her translations of four Argentinean plays were presented at Performance Space 122 (New York) during the November 2006 Buenos Aires in Translation (BAiT) festival.
