Biographical note
Michael Thompson is a senior research scholar at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Laxenburg, Austria. He is also an associate fellow at the Institute for Science, Innovation, and Society, University of Oxford, United Kingdom."Thompson is able to reveal the more nuanced thinking of a subject whose work squarely addresses questions of where Spanish identity lies, taking against the perceived indiscriminate internationalism of the avantgarde to excavate Spanishness, whilst at the same time attempting to seize it from hegemonic and homogenizing discourses." - Helena Buffery, Bulletin of Hispanic Studies "Performing Spanishness can be considered a valuable contribution to twentieth-century Spanish theatre studies and a resource for those interested in debates on social and cultural history and Spanish national identities." - Catherine O'Leary, Contemporary Theatre Review
