Figures of sacrifice: Africa in the transnational imaginary. - 219 p.

Adviser: Sue-Ellen Case.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Los Angeles, 2008.

This dissertation interrogates the construction of Africa in the transnational imaginary. It utilizes the notion of "sacrifice" to examine the ritual dimensions of Sub-Sahara African and African-American theaters and social dramas. These theatres depict revisionist practices that re-conceptualize African and/or Black agency and self-determination. The dramatization of specific "figures of sacrifice", performative depictions of gender and power, recurring cultural forms that redeploy rites of sacrifice, and invocations of ancestral culture perpetuate specific ideas of African-ness and Blackness in the cultural landscape of black performance. Key notions drawn from Post-colonial theory, Theories of decolonization, African Diaspora studies and critical writings on the reproduction of black subjectivities, constructions of race, gender, and sexuality, and the feminist critique of performance provide a theoretical framework through which the ritualization of the imaginary of Africa and Blackness is performed and rearticulated.
