There Is Not One China: Chinese Theaters in East Asia

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses Rossella Ferrari’s book Transnational Chinese Theatres: Inter-cultural Performance Networks in East Asia. This research monograph by a scholar of Chinese theaters focuses on characterizing transnational artist networks in East Asia. Investigating theater collaborations of artists from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, Ferrari proposes a transnational and rhizomatic model for analyzing Sino- phone culture. The book makes use of multiple sources not referenced in previous research, unpublished materials, and interviews. Ferrari explicitly dissociates herself from the orientalization of Eastern theaters; as her main method in researching them, she chooses Asia itself, following the Taiwanese cultural sociologist Chen Kuan-hsing (Asia as method) and listening carefully to the voice of Chinese theaters.
