This book is the first comprehensive introduction to the extraordinarily complex comics culture of Taiwan, where, under martial law, mainland Chinese traditions of political cartoons and popular “picture book” existed side by side with pirated and often obscured Japanese manga. Taking a media-historical perspective, the book traces the changes in comics’ cultural, symbolic, and economic capital. It considers publication formats, distribution channels, and stylistic conventions, analyzes the official discourse through government documents and newspaper articles, and scrutinizes the censorship system.
Book Details
What can artists learn from theatre scholars when it comes to performing historical works on stage today? What can theatre scholars learn from today’s artists when it comes to understanding the works and practices of the past? How is the experience of modern spectators affected by attending performances in historic theatres? And how, aesthetically, do we experience the reconstruction of productions from the remote past?
The essays in this anthology try to answer these questions by initiating a dialogue between academic and artistic research. They reflect a desire to develop and expand the methods traditionally used by theatre historians, presenting a variety of angles on today’s performances in historic theatres and on today’s attempts to revive theatrical practices of the past.
