Ruling the Stage: Social and Cultural History of Opera in Sichuan from the Qing to the People's Republic of China: China Studies, cartea 49

Autor Igor Iwo Chabrowski
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iun 2022
Through an innovative interdisciplinary reading and field research, Igor Chabrowski analyses the history of the development of opera inSichuan, arguing that opera serves as a microcosm of the profound transformation of modern Chinese culture between the 18th centuryand 1950s. He investigates the complex path of opera over this course of history: exiting the temple festivals, becoming a public obsessionon commercial stages, and finally being harnessed to partisan propaganda work. The book analyzes the process of cross-regional integrationof Chinese culture and the emergence of the national opera genre. Moreover, opera is shown as an example of the culture wars that raged insideChina’s popular culture.
