摘要:Tapping into the performative intricacies of tourist activity and showcasing the negotiations of performed ethnicity in the implicit contrasts between tourists and the people they travel to see, Latin American and U.S. Latino theatre artists use the tourist character or theme to investigate the cultural negotiations marking contemporary social life. This work parallels critical theory that investigates the tourist as an improvisatory player in trans-regional interactions and unpacks the tourist-“native” binary to revise conceptions of people and cultures that travel. As exemplified in two plays by Rodolfo Santana (Venezuela), artists deploy the tourist theme to critique culturalism, that is, to use the term coined by Arjun Appadurai, “identity politics at the level of the nation-state.” Santana's plays Mirando al tendido (1992) and Influencia turística en la inclinación de la Torre de Pisa (1996) highlight the interaction of tourism with its designated other, the ethnic, to critique the concept of abolengo, or nation-based ancestry or bloodline, as the authenticating mechanism of a particular cultural practice or group. Santana's work—along with that of his cohort—also proposes that staging tourism harbors insights into the everyday that might generate more salutary social arrangements. 

拉丁美洲和美國拉美戲劇藝術家利用旅遊特色或主題，探討當代社會生活的文化談判，挖掘旅遊活動的複雜性，在遊客與他們旅遊的人之間隱含的對比中展示表演種族的談判。這項工作與批判性理論平行，該理論將研究遊客作為跨區域互動中的即興參與者，並解開了遊客的"原生"二進制，以修正旅行的人和文化的概念。如魯道夫·桑塔納（委內瑞拉）的兩部戲劇，藝術家們將旅遊主題運用到批評文化主義，也就是說，使用阿瓊·阿帕杜雷（Arjun 跨區域互動中的即興參與者，並解開了遊客的"原生"二進制，以修正旅行的人和文化的概念。如魯道夫·桑塔納（委 Appadurai）創造的"民族國家層面的身份政治"一詞。桑塔納的戲劇《米蘭多·阿爾·滕迪多》（1992年）和《比薩旅遊》（1996年）突出了旅遊業與指定其他民族的互動，以批判阿博倫戈的概 念，或基於民族的祖先或血統，作為特定文化實踐或群體的真實機制。桑塔納的工作——連同他的同夥的工作——也提出，舉辦旅遊活動可以洞察日常，從而產生更多有益的社會安排。
