Across Yin-Yang, Across Cultures, and Beyond Jingju Huai Bao creator Oxford Routledge 20170814 1 g eng 182 p Cross-Gender China , the outcome of more than twenty years of theatrical and sociological research, deconstructs the cultural implications of cross-gender performance in today's China. The recent revival in male-to-female cross-gender nandan performance in Chinese theatre raises a multitude of questions: it may suggest new gender dynamics, or new readings of old aesthetic traditions in new socio-cultural contexts. Interrogating the positions of the gender being performed and the gender doing the performing, this volume gives a broad cultural account of the contexts in which this unique performance style has found new life. 9781351674720 Taylor & Francis 01 250312 20250317111603.0 1351674722
