Conclusion. 330 $aThis book traces the transformation of traditional Chinese theatre?s (xiqu) aesthetics during its encounters with Western drama and theatrical forms in both mainland China and Taiwan since 1978. Through analyzing both the text and performances of eight adapted plays from William Shakespeare, Bertolt Brecht, and Samuel Beckett, this book elaborates on significant changes taking place in playwriting, acting, scenography, and stage-audience relations stemming from intercultural appropriation. As exemplified by each chapter, during the intercultural dialogue of Chinese and foreign elements there exists one-sided dominance by either culture, fusion, and hybridity, which corresponds to the various facets of China?s pursuit of modernity between its traditional and Western influences. 606 $aChinese drama$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIntercultural communication in the performing arts 615 0$aChinese drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIntercultural communication in the performing arts. 676 $a895.12009 676 $a792.0951 700 $aFeng$b Wei$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0877835 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484488103321 996 $aIntercultural Aesthetics in Traditional Chinese Theatre$91959932 997 $aUNINA
