{"product_id":"realisms-in-east-asian-performance-jessica-nakamura-9780472056422","title":"Realisms in East Asian Performance","description":"\u003cp\u003eExisting scholarly discussions of theatrical realism have been predominantly limited to 19th-century European and Russian theater, with little attention paid to wider explorations and alternative definitions of the practice. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Nakamura\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472056425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472056422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 7.40w x 1.30d","brand":"Jessica Nakamura","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44227674931455,"sku":"9780472056422","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_938ac8e0-7399-486f-a7f9-7881b6b7085c.jpg?v=1692809968","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/realisms-in-east-asian-performance-jessica-nakamura-9780472056422","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
