Examining theater forms and artists from China, Japan, and Korea, Realisms in East Asian Performance brings together a group of theater historians to reconsider realism through the performing arts of East Asia. The book's contributors emphasize trans-regional conversations and activate inter-Asian dialogues on theatrical production. Tracing historical trajectories, starting from premodern periods through today, the book seeks to understand realisms' multiple origins, forms, and cultural significances, and examines their continuities, disruptions, and divergences. In its diversity of topics, geographic locations, and time periods, Realisms in East Asian Performance aims to globalize and de-center the dominant narratives surrounding realism in theater, and revise assumptions about the spectacular and theatrical forms of Asian performance. Understanding realism as a powerful representational style, chapters collectively reevaluate acts of representation on stage not just for East Asia, but for theater and performance studies more broadly.TheaterEast AsiaHistory and criticismPerforming artsEast AsiaHistory and criticismEast Asian dramaHistory and criticismRealism in literatureTheaterHistory and criticism.Performing artsHistory and criticism.East Asian dramaHistory and criticism.Realism in literature.792.095Nakamura Jessica1731976Saltzman-Li Katherine1107034Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan),MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910743301403321Realisms in East Asian Performance4145589UNINA
