Providing a fascinating look into the lives of some of the opera's key actors, he explores their methods for earning a living; their status in an ever-changing society; the methods by which theaters functioned; the nature and content of performances; audience make-up; and the larger relationship between Peking opera and Chinese nationalism. Propelled by a synergy of the commercial and the political patronage from the Qing court in Beijing to modern theaters in Shanghai and Tianjin, Peking opera rose to national prominence. The genre's star actors, particularly male cross-dressing performers led by the exquisite Mei Lanfang and the "Four Great Female Impersonators" became media celebrities, models of modern fashion and world travel. Ironically, as it became increasingly entrenched in modern commercial networks, Peking opera was increasingly framed in post-May fourth discourses as profoundly traditional. Drama Kings demonstrates that the process of reforming and marketing Peking opera as a national genre was integrally involved with process of colonial modernity, shifting gender roles, the rise of capitalist visual culture, and new technologies of public discipline that became increasingly prevalent in urban China in the Republican era. 606 $aTheater$zChina$zBeijing$xHistory 606 $aOperas, Chinese$zChina$zBeijing$xHistory 610 $acareer. 610 $acelebrities. 610 $achinese history. 610 $across dressing. 610 $across-dressers. 610 $acultural anthropology. 610 $adetailed history. 610 $adramatic. 610 $aemotional rollercoaster. 610 $afour great female impersonators. 610 $agender bending. 610 $agender roles. 610 $ahistorical reenactments. 610 $ahistory of china. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aintense emotion. 610 $aintense. 610 $alively. 610 $amelodrama. 610 $apeking opera. 610 $aperforming arts. 610 $apolitics. 610 $aqing dynasty. 610 $atheater and opera. 610 $atheater history. 610 $atheatrical. 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 615 0$aOperas, Chinese$xHistory. 676 $a792.0951/156 700 $aGoldstein$b Joshua$f1965-$01561179 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778080103321 996 $aDrama kings$93827693 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02977nam 2200613 450 001 996552352703316 005 20220424173950.0 010 $a1-4744-8165-5 010 $a1-3995-0195-X 010 $a1-4744-8164-7 024 7 $a10.1515/9781474481649 035 $a(CKB)4100000011996310 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6696349 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6696349 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0002656618 035 $a(DE-B1597)619429 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781474481649 035 $a(OCoLC)1306538702 035 $a(ScCtBLL)4c874c7f-e442-45e5-8bc5-273fba459ce6 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011996310 100 $a20210305d2021 fy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aModernism and the choreographic imagination $eSalome's dance after 1890 /$fMegan Girdwood$b[electronic resource] 210 1$aEdinburgh :$cEdinburgh University Press,$d2021. 215 $a1 online resource (251 pages) 225 1 $aEdinburgh critical studies in modernism, drama and performance 225 1 $aEdinburgh scholarship online 300 $aAlso issued in print: 2021. 311 $a1-4744-8162-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tCONTENTS -- $tILLUSTRATIONS -- $tABBREVIATIONS -- $tACKNOWLEDGEMENTS -- $tSERIES EDITOR?S PREFACE -- $t1 INTRODUCTION -- $t1 ?UNLOCATABLE BODIES?: MODERNIST VEILED DANCERS FROM LOÏE FULLER TO MAUD ALLAN -- $t2 ?THAT INVISIBLE DANCE?: SYMBOLISM, SALOMÉ AND OSCAR WILDE?S CHOREOGRAPHIC AESTHETICS -- $t3 ?HARMONIES OF LIGHT?: CINÉ-DANCES AND WOMEN?S SILENT FILM -- $t4 ?HERODIAS?
