Inscribing Jingju/Peking Opera

Textualization and Performance, Authorship and Censorship of the "National Drama" of China from the Late Qing to the Present

Beschreibung

What was the most influential mass medium in China before the internet reaching both literate and illiterate audiences? The answer may surprise you...it's Jingju (Peking opera). This book traces the tradition's increasing textualization and the changes in authorship, copyright, performance rights, and textual fixation that accompanied those changes.
