A single performer may deliver a two-hour recitation, women may meet in informal singing groups, shadow puppets may host an all-night play, or professional theaters may put on productions lasting thirty nights. Performances often celebrate ritual passages: births, deaths, marriages, and religious observances. The stories live and are transmitted through performance; their characters are well known and well loved.Yet written versions of the Mahabharata and Ramayana have existed in both South and Southeast Asia for hundreds of years. Rarely have these texts been intended for private reading. What is the relationship between written text and oral performance? What do performers and audiences mean when they identify something as "Ramayana" or "Mahabharata"? How do they conceive of texts? What are the boundaries of the texts? By analyzing specific performance traditions, Boundaries of the Text addresses questions of what happens to written texts when they are preformed and how performance traditions are affected when they interact with written texts. The dynamics of this interaction are of particular interest in South and Southeast Asia where oral performance and written traditions share a long, interwoven history. The contributors to Boundaries of the Text show the difficulty of maintaining sharp distinctions between oral and written patterns, as the traditions they consider defy a unidirectional movement from oral to written. The boundaries of epic traditions are in a state of flux, contracting or expanding as South and Southeast Asian societies respond to increasing access to modern education, print technology, and electronic media. 410 $aMichigan Papers On South And Southeast Asia 606 $aSocial Science / Cultural & Ethnic Studies / General$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science$2bisacsh 606 $aPerforming Arts$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial sciences 615 7$aSocial Science / Cultural & Ethnic Studies / General 615 7$aSocial Science 615 7$aPerforming Arts 615 0$aSocial sciences. 702 $aSears$b Laurie 702 $aFlueckiger$b Joyce Burkhalter 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910976777603321 996 $aBoundaries of the Text$94319169 997 $aUNINA
