Examining theater forms and artists from China, Japan, and Korea, \u003ci\u003eRealisms in East Asian Performance\u003c\/i\u003e brings together a group of theater historians to reconsider realism through the performing arts of East Asia. \u003c\/p\u003e The book's contributors emphasize trans-regional conversations and activate inter-Asian dialogues on theatrical production. Tracing historical trajectories, starting from premodern periods through today, the book seeks to understand realisms' multiple origins, forms, and cultural significances, and examines their continuities, disruptions, and divergences. In its diversity of topics, geographic locations, and time periods, \u003ci\u003eRealisms in East Asian Performance\u003c\/i\u003e aims to globalize and de-center the dominant narratives surrounding realism in theater, and revise assumptions about the spectacular and theatrical forms of Asian performance. Understanding realism as a powerful representational style, chapters collectively reevaluate acts of representation on stage not just for East Asia, but for theater and performance studies more broadly.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJessica Nakamura\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of Theater and Dance at the University of California, Santa Barbara. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKatherine Saltzman-Li \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor of Japanese Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 290\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 9.3 x 7.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 04, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42155986583687,"sku":"9780472056422","price":71.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/90b53c5d053e5113d9f95f572f197bd1.webp?v=1733240200","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/realisms-in-east-asian-performance-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
