Joshua Goldstein is Assistant Professor of Chinese History at the University of Southern California.
In this colorful and detailed history, Joshua Goldstein describes the formation of the Peking opera in late Qing and its subsequent rise and re-creation as the epitome of the Chinese national culture in Republican era China. Providing a fascinating look into the lives of some of the opera’s key actors, he explores their methods for earning a living; their status in an ever-changing society; the methods by which theaters functioned; the nature and content of performances; audience make-up; and the larger relationship between Peking opera and Chinese nationalism.
Propelled by a synergy of the commercial and the political patronage from the Qing court in Beijing to modern theaters in Shanghai and Tianjin, Peking opera rose to national prominence. The genre’s star actors, particularly male cross-dressing performers led by the exquisite Mei Lanfang and the “Four Great Female Impersonators” became media celebrities, models of modern fashion and world travel. Ironically, as it became increasingly entrenched in modern commercial networks, Peking opera was increasingly framed in post-May fourth discourses as profoundly traditional. Drama Kings demonstrates that the process of reforming and marketing Peking opera as a national genre was integrally involved with process of colonial modernity, shifting gender roles, the rise of capitalist visual culture, and new technologies of public discipline that became increasingly prevalent in urban China in the Republican era.

A Brief history of Beijing Opera starts from Qianlong’s southern tour in 1751, which brought four Anhui troupes to Beijing. The Rise of Beijing Opera published in 1971 addresses this early period. Goldstein’s book, instead, focuses on the period of 1870-1...

A Chinese history based on theatre history, not flawless but clever and ambitious indeed.
評分挺好的、很值得一讀。寫作、模式、理論、方法論略“油滑”——幾乎可以看到一個從案例寫曆史的學術類量産式框架。"fetishization of the Shanghai modern"等觀點比較有趣,但沒有更加有條理地深挖。
評分將文明戲的反諷的遽然消亡,歸結到關於戲劇和劇場、關於京劇應該是什麼樣的內在的認知變化,這一點有意思。底下仍是老問題:民族的如何成為現代的。
評分刷《全職高手》期間啃完這本,( ̄▽ ̄")……語言對我這種渣來說算比較難瞭,尤其是分析美學爭論時。第二章在董玥主編的《走齣區域研究》有中文版。是我最想讀到的那種分析京劇的文化史作品。作者去年在Modern China發的文章是關於文安縣廢棄塑料迴收的……這研究領域換的也太大瞭。感謝學妹的“館際互藉”。
