Klappentext zu „Intercultural Aesthetics in Traditional Chinese Theatre “
This 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.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Intercultural Aesthetics in Traditional Chinese Theatre “
