This page contains Papers, Writing and a compilation of academic papers and other resources compiled by Nicholas Tanery related to the subject matter of Diamanda Galás' song cycle Defixiones, Will and Testament.
Defixiones, Will and Testament concerns genocide; that is an attempt to brutally crush and erase a civilization by any means necessary in its entirety. Also, the work concerns those who must live in exile as a means to escape and the desire to document one's existence -- to leave behind proof of life.
