【 摘 要 】

Taking the term ;;the other” from Michelle de Certeau and others, this thesis exploresartist Marta Cruz Sojo’s experiences of ;;otherness;; and is based on her ethnography research inMexico. Notions of ;;the other;; motivated this thesis and became the main concept that hasinformed the final piece, a puppet performance made as a culmination of the three year MFAprogram. The thesis begins with Cruz Sojo;;s personal story in order to contextualize her thesisprocess. It continues with the history and theory of puppetry and then presents an analysis ofCruz Sojo;;s performance Arando el Viento (Plowing the Wind). The thesis concludes byreflecting upon anonymous Mexican voices as a community, and thoughts about how this workmight contribute to a greater understanding of ;;otherness.”
