From plays to official events to grassroots protests, performance, she argues, must be taken seriously as a means of storing and transmitting knowledge. Taylor reveals how the repertoire of embodied memory—conveyed in gestures, the spoken word, movement, dance, song, and other performances—offers alternative perspectives to those derived from the written archive and is particularly useful to a reconsideration of historical processes of transnational contact. The Archive and the Repertoire invites a remapping of the Americas based on traditions of embodied practice.10aPerforming arts (ICH_1228)1 aTaylor, Diana  uhttps://read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/849/The-Archive-and-the-RepertoirePerforming-Cultural
