It looks at how such theatrical forms strive to stay relevant in an era of modernisation and secularisation. In doing so, the book examines regional theatre in broader socio-cultural and political contexts and looks at how Singapore, among other countries, is connected to this regional network of Hokkien theatre. While exploring Hokkien as a performing language, the book studies how in today?s Information Age, oral and literate practices have taken on a new role in traditional theatre. It also looks at craft literacy which differs from the reading and writing practices that we use in everyday life. "This is an insightful theatrical study on the web of Chinese cultural networks in southern China and Singapore, and by extension, between China and Southeast Asia in the twentieth century and beyond. Using diverse sources in multiple languages and extensive field ethnography, this is a ground-breaking study which is both didactic and inspiring." - Lee Tong Soon, author of Chinese Street Opera in Singapore (University of Illinois, 2009). "Focusing on Hokkien theatre, this book offers new insights into how Chinese performing art responds to geographical, temporal, and social changes. Historical sources in different languages are widely used to give access to the cultural characteristics of Hokkien theatre, offering valuable ethnographic reports on the contemporary practices of Hokkien theatre in Taiwan, Kinmen, and Singapore. The book comments on the changing ritualistic significance of Hokkien theatre, and help us understand how societies remember the past of a performing tradition, and shape its present." - Luo Ai Mei, Co-Editor of A Preliminary Survey of the Cantonese Eight Song Cycles in South China: History and Sources (2016). 606 $aCulture 606 $aEmigration and immigration 606 $aTheater 606 $aTheater?History 606 $aEthnology?Asia 606 $aSociology of Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22100 606 $aDiaspora$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X37000 606 $aNational/Regional Theatre and Performance$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415080 606 $aTheatre History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415010 606 $aAsian Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411040 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration. 615 0$aTheater. 615 0$aTheater?History. 615 0$aEthnology?Asia. 615 14$aSociology of Culture. 615 24$aDiaspora. 615 24$aNational/Regional Theatre and Performance. 615 24$aTheatre History. 615 24$aAsian Culture. 676 $a792.0951 700 $aChia$b Caroline$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061048 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910350282503321 996 $aHokkien Theatre Across The Seas$92517256 997 $aUNINA
