Uncrossing the Borders asks why this theatrical trope has remained so powerful and attractive. The book analyzes how national, cultural, and ethnic borders are inevitably gendered and incite violence against women in the name of the nation. The book surveys two millennia of historical, literary, dramatic texts and sociopolitical references to reveal that this type of drama was especially popular when China was under foreign rule, such as in the Yuan (Mongol) and Qing (Manchu) dynasties, and when Chinese male literati felt desperate about their economic and political future, due to the dysfunctional imperial examination system. Daphne P. Lei covers border-crossing Chinese drama in major theatrical genres such as zaju and chuanqi, regional drama such as jingju (Beijing opera) and yueju (Cantonese opera), and modernized operatic and musical forms of such stories today"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Chinese drama $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008100549 650 0 $a Women in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85147587 650 0 $a Operas, Chinese $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85094968 650 0 $a Boundaries in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94000832 650 0 $a Suicide in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85129749 650 7 $a Boundaries in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837088 650 7 $a Chinese drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00857335 650 7 $a Operas, Chinese. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01046239 650 7 $a Suicide in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01137615 650 7 $a Women in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177912 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lei, Daphne P., $t Uncrossing the borders $d Ann Arbor : University of Michigan 2019. $z 9780472125234 $w (DLC) 2019980711 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217022244.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=36C65A6E0CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
