商品描述

An in-depth study of the Festival of India (1985-1986) in the United States, one of the biggest events ever mounted to promote goodwill between two countries. Comprising more than seven hundred programs of music, dance, drama, film shows, art exhibitions, and workshops sponsored by over two hundred cultural institutions across over a hundred cities, the festival constituted a prismatic event that refracted the complex forces at play on the global stage during the 1980s. The Element delineates how this multi-sited spectacle of unprecedented size and near unfathomable political, economic, and cultural influence impacted theatre and performance studies. Simultaneously, it traces how two complex historical shifts were communicated to the global public at the end of the Cold War: India's desire to transition from planned Nehruvian socialism to laissez faire capitalism and the efflorescence of the model of 'cultural development' that centred the arts in development.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書深入研究了1985年至1986年在美國舉辦的印度節(Festival of India),這是一個旨在促進兩國友好的最大活動之一。該節慶包括超過七百個音樂、舞蹈、戲劇、電影展覽、藝術展覽和工作坊等節目,由兩百多個文化機構贊助,在一百多個城市舉辦。這個節慶是一個多面向的事件,折射出1980年代全球舞台上複雜的力量。《元素》一書描述了這個規模空前且幾乎無法理解的政治、經濟和文化影響如何影響了戲劇和表演研究。同時,它追蹤了兩個複雜的歷史轉變如何在冷戰結束時傳達給全球公眾:印度希望從計劃經濟的尼赫魯社會主義轉向自由放任的資本主義,以及以藝術為核心的“文化發展”模式的興盛。
