It stresses the Filipino performing body's location as it conjoins colonial histories of the Philippines with U.S. race relations and discourses of globalization. Puro arte, translated from Spanish into English, simply means “pure art.” In Filipino, puro arte however performs a much more ironic function, gesturing rather to the labor of over-acting, histrionics, playfulness, and purely over-the-top dramatics. In this book, puro arte functions as an episteme, a way of approaching the Filipino/a performing body at key moments in U.S.-Philippine imperial relations, from the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, early American plays about the Philippines, Filipino patrons in U.S. taxi dance halls to the phenomenon of Filipino/a actors in Miss Saigon. Using this varied archive, Puro Arte turns to performance as an object of study and as a way of understanding complex historical processes of racialization in relation to empire and colonialism.Postmillennial pop.ImperialismSocial aspectsPhilippinesNationalismSocial aspectsPhilippinesPopular culturePolitical aspectsUnited StatesPopular culturePolitical aspectsPhilippinesPerforming artsPolitical aspectsUnited StatesPerforming artsPolitical aspectsPhilippinesEthnicityPolitical aspectsPhilippinesFilipino AmericansEthnic identityUnited StatesRelationsPhilippinesPhilippinesRelationsUnited StatesImperialismSocial aspectsNationalismSocial aspectsPopular culturePolitical aspectsPopular culturePolitical aspectsPerforming artsPolitical aspectsPerforming artsPolitical aspectsEthnicityPolitical aspectsFilipino AmericansEthnic identity.305.89921073Burns Lucy Mae San Pabloauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1537553DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910786361003321Puro Arte3786926UNINA
