| description | "Performance in Asia" is the second of two themed issues of the
International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies (IJAPS). It follows part one,
"Music in Asia," which appeared in IJAPS Volume 9, Issue 1. Like its
counterpart, this themed issue brings together articles from various
disciplines and regions across Asia, presenting research on Singapore,
Taiwan, Pakistan and Japan. The material analysed ranges from live theatre,
both avant-garde and popular, to puppet plays, film and television. The
articles in this themed issue share a common focus on the experience of the
spectator. The productions they analyse demonstrate how cross-cultural and
other hybrid elements either make for a jarring spectatorial experience that
leads to questions about locality and identity, or encourage audiences that
have been hitherto defined by their differences to come together. Several of
the articles in this themed issue also trace audiences across time, comparing
their responses decades ago to those of today. In this fashion, the articles in
"Performance in Asia" address the complex relationship between the global
and the local in terms of how artistic productions impact upon both the
individual, and the society in which that individual is located, in a rapidly
changing world. |
