Roberts.Here is a convincing reflection that changes our understanding of gender in Maoist culture, esp. for what critics from the 1990's onwards have termed its ‘erasure’ of gender and sexuality. In particular the strong heroines of the yangbanxi, or ‘model works’ which dominated the Cultural Revolution period, have been seen as genderless revolutionaries whose images were damaging to women. Drawing on contemporary theories ranging from literary and cultural studies to sociology, this book challenges that established view through detailed semiotic analysis of theatrical systems of the yangbanxi including costume, props, kinesics, and various audio and linguistic systems. Acknowledging the complex interplay of traditional, modern, Chinese and foreign gender ideologies as manifest in the 'model works', it fundamentally changes our insights into gender in Maoist culture.Women and gender in China studies ;v. 2.TheaterPolitical aspectsChinaHistory20th centuryGender identity in the theaterChinaSex in the theaterWomen in the theaterChinaWomen and communismChinaCommunism and sexChinaTheaterPolitical aspectsHistoryGender identity in the theaterSex in the theater.Women in the theaterWomen and communismCommunism and sex792.0951Roberts Rosemary A1721070MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810231103321Maoist model theatre4120271UNINA
