Women in Asian Performance
0 - Default Title
Description
Arya Madhavan brings together essays from leading scholars across the globe to make an exciting intervention into current aesthetic, political and cultural debates. Chapter-by-chapter, this volume re-examines the often centuries-old aesthetic theories and acting conventions which inform ideas of femininity and female representation onstage.
Divided into three parts, Women in Asian Performance addresses:
Erasure: the history of the presence and absence of female bodies on Asian stages
Intervention: the politics of female intervention into patriarchal performance genres
Reconstruction: the strategies and methods adopted by women in redefining their performance practice
