摘要

Gender in Asian Shakespeare: Towards Intercultural Feminism is the first full-length study of gender in East and Southeast Asian productions of  Shakespeare’s plays. Resituating gender theory within new performance contexts, forms and communities, this book explores the ways in which performances of gender produce the terms through which intercultural engagements with Shakespeare take place. By doing so, it explores the possibilities and complications that emerge when theatre practitioners stage gender representations and relations as they negotiate with Shakespeare’s legacy in their theatre practices.  Across its chapters, this book proposes new ways for thinking about feminist theories in non-Western performances and contexts—even as it remains informed and influenced by feminist theories originating from within the West—and envisions future opportunities for theorising feminism  through negotiations with intercultural theatre performances of Shakespeare’s plays in Asia. Informed by Western feminist thought, this book offers analyses of non-Western performances and contexts, but envisions new heterogeneous approaches to theorising feminism through engagements with intercultural theatre performances of Shakespeare’s plays in Asia.
