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.Filipino AmericansEthnic identityEthnicityPolitical aspectsPhilippinesPerforming artsPolitical aspectsPhilippinesPerforming artsPolitical aspectsUnited StatesPopular culturePolitical aspectsPhilippinesPopular culturePolitical aspectsUnited StatesNationalismSocial aspectsPhilippinesImperialismSocial aspectsPhilippinesPhilippinesRelationsUnited StatesUnited StatesRelationsPhilippinesFilipino AmericansEthnic identity.EthnicityPolitical aspectsPerforming artsPolitical aspectsPerforming artsPolitical aspectsPopular culturePolitical aspectsPopular culturePolitical aspectsNationalismSocial aspectsImperialismSocial aspects305.89921073San Pablo Burns Lucy Mae1750913MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819279303321Puro arte4185681UNINA
