商品描述
This monograph interrogates the construction of the People's Republic of China across seven plays by White British playwrights. It analyses these original plays to explore the ways in which China is constructed as a political entity in relation to the British sense of self. It constructs a methodological correlation, contingent upon ambivalence, between the appearance of Brecht's Berliner Ensemble on the London stage in 1956, the dialectics of Brecht's method, interculturalism and translation, and poststructuralist conceptions of language, to explore tensions between neo-imperialist fantasy and postcolonial critique.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本專著探討了七部英國白人劇作家所創作的作品中，中華人民共和國的建構。它分析這些原創劇本，以探索中國作為一個政治實體是如何與英國的自我意識相關聯的。它建立了一種方法論上的關聯，依賴於模稜兩可，將1956年布萊希特的柏林合唱團在倫敦舞台上的出現、布萊希特方法的辯證法、跨文化主義與翻譯，以及後結構主義對語言的概念進行聯繫，以探討新帝國主義幻想與後殖民批評之間的緊張關係。
作者簡介
Ashley Thorpe is Reader in Theatre at Royal Holloway University of London, UK. His previous monograph on Chinese drama, Performing China on the London Stage: Chinese Opera and Global Power, 1759-2008 (Palgrave 2016), explored the effects of transnational and intercultural encounters through an exploration of Chinese performance forms (specifically xiqu) in London. The co-edited volume Contesting British Chinese Culture (Palgrave 2018) included analysis of the impact of Arts Council funding on British Chinese performance, whilst the co-edited Asian City Crossings: Pathways of Performance Through Hong Kong and Singapore (2021) explored transnational theatre ecologies outside of the prevailing East-West dynamic.
