Scenes of Cognition: Performance and Conquest explores how Mesoamerican pre-Conquest practices trouble some basic givens about the terms theatre and performance and ask us, not necessarily to replace them, but to rethink them again. This essay is as much about examining our own epistemic grids as about pre-Conquest theatre and performance.
