ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book offers a framing of the nature of feminicidal violence as it has evolved since the early 1990s in Ciudad Juarez. It shows how long-standing performative histories of a certain kind of masculine dominance pervade the Catalan theatre stage and how these erupt through the interpretation of 2666 by Alex Rigola at the Teatre Lliure. The book explores the potential of documentary film about Ciudad Juarez engaging with one of the best known cultural responses to the crimes, Senorita Extraviada by Lourdes Portillo. It examines the way that distinct cinephiliac moments might prompt moments of resistance. The book also examines the performance of Alba Pujol in the role of Rosita Mendez through the lenses of hysteria and sacrifice, allowed for a reading that while it acknowledges the troubled histories of representation that subtend it, also allows space for agency and contestation.
