Gurney's 1999 play Far East. This fascinating collaborative volume examines the Madame Butterfly narrative in a wide variety of cultural contexts literary, musical, theatrical, cinematic, historical, and political and in a variety of media opera, drama, film, and prose narratives and includes contributions from a wide range of academic disciplines, such as Asian Studies, English Literature, Theatre, Musicology, and Film Studies. From its original colonial beginnings, the Butterfly story has been turned about and inverted in recent years to shed light back on the nature of the relationship between East and West, remaining popular in its original version as well as in retellings such as David Henry Hwang's play M. Butterfly and David Cronenberg's screen adaptation. The combined perspectives that result from this collaboration provide new and challenging insights into the powerful, resonant myth of a painful encounter between East and West.MUSIC / Genres & Styles / OperabisacshAdaptations.MUSIC / Genres & Styles / Opera.809/.93351Oakley Francis161874Boyd MelindaGrace Sherrill1944-McIlroy BrianMicznik VeraWisenthal JonathanMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780530603321A vision of the Orient3673140UNINA$63.0010/07/2019Art
