[edit] DIASPORAS AND INTERCULTURALISM IN ASIAN PERFORMING ARTS
A wide range of performing arts and practices of the Asian diasporas across the world are examined by scholars of Asian studies, theatre studies, anthropology, cultural studies, dance ethnology and ethnomusicology.
This volume focuses on the performing arts of the Asian diasporas and intercultural performances in the context of modernity and globalisation. A wide range of performing arts of the Asian diasporas and diverse intercultural performance practices across the world are examined by scholars of Asian studies, theatre studies, anthropology, cultural studies, dance ethnology and ethnomusicology. These essays locate the performing arts in late modernity as a discursive field in which the boundary between 'tradition and translation' and 'authenticity and hybridity' are negotiated and redefined to create a multitude of meanings and aesthetics in global and local contexts. Various issues are addressed, including questions of identity, ethnicity, notions of displacement, gender, inter-ethnic power relations, inter-cultural negotiations and the social and political implications of performance. A number of cultural processes associated with diasporas and their performing arts are examined, such as the construction of 'diaspora memory', the translation of 'imagined' tradition, and cultural adaptation and innovation in a 'new home', all of which give shape to hybrid and multiple identities which cut across and intersect geo-political and national boundaries.
