Book Synopsis Perspectives on Korean Music by : Keith Howard
Download or read book Perspectives on Korean Music written by Keith Howard and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Korea has developed and modernized, music has come to play a central role as a symbol of national identity. Nationalism has been stage managed by scholars, journalists and the state, as music genres have been documented, preserved and promoted as 'Intangible Cultural Properties'. In this book, Keith Howard documents court music and dance, Confucian and shaman ritual music, folksongs, the professional folk-art genres of p'ansori and sanjo and more. An accompanying CD illustrates many of the music genres considered, featuring many master musicians including some who have now died.

Book Synopsis Presence Through Sound by : Keith Howard
Download or read book Presence Through Sound written by Keith Howard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presence Through Sound narrates and analyses, through a range of case studies on selected musics of China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Tibet, some of the many ways in which music and ‘place’ intersect and are interwoven with meaning in East Asia. It explores how place is significant to the many contexts in which music is made and experienced, especially in contemporary forms of longstanding traditions but also in other landscapes such as popular music and in the design of performance spaces. It shows how music creates and challenges borders, giving significance to geographical and cartographic spaces at local, national, and international levels, and illustrates how music is used to interpret relationships with ecology and environment, spirituality and community, and state and nation. The volume brings together scholars from Australia, China, Denmark, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and the UK, each of whom explores a specific genre or topic in depth. Each nuanced account finds distinct and at times different aspects to be significant but, in demonstrating the ability of music to mediate the construction of place and by showing how those who create and consume music use it to inhabit the intimate, and to project themselves out into their surroundings, each points to interconnections across the region and beyond with respect to perception, conception, expression, and interpretation. In Presence Through Sound, ethnomusicology meets anthropology, literature, linguistics, area studies, and – particularly pertinent to East Asia in the twenty-first century – local musicologies. The volume serves a broad academic readership and provides an essential resource for all those interested in East Asia.
Book Synopsis The Metacultural Theater of Oh T'ae-sŏk by : Oh T'ae-sok
Download or read book The Metacultural Theater of Oh T'ae-sŏk written by Oh T'ae-sok and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1999-05-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here for the first time are translations of five plays by Oh T'ae-sok, Korea's leading playwright and one of the most original dramatists and stage-directors working in Asia today. Drawing inspiration from both East and West and combining styles as disparate as ancient Korean masked dance-drama and contemporary avant-garde theater, these plays range from raucous comedy to historical tragedy, from explorations of the impact of the Korean War to bitter satires of modern Korean life. A stunning visual storyteller, Oh mines Korea's cultural and theatrical traditions--not to preserve them but to interrogate them in light of present social conditions and to reconstruct a new theatrical form that challenges both old and current conventions alike. His metacultural theater investigates "Koreaness" from the perspectives of many different cultures, while at the same time probing the meaning of culture itself.
Download or read book Korean Theatre written by Oh-Kon Cho and published by Jain Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Korean Theatre: From Rituals to the Avant-Garde is the most comprehensive book on Korean theatre which covers from ancient rituals to the modern theatre. It is an essential book for anyone who is interested in theatre or Korean theatre . . . The research that went in to make this book possible can only be described as phenomenal." Alyssa Kim, Ph.D. Hankuk University of Foreign Studies "The book has a clear, understandable organization. Professor Cho’s prose is succinct, readable, and void of fashionable academic jargon. I find the chapter beginning-historical context very useful, most especially those surrounding and shaping Korean theatre since the ‘50s. The early chapters on masked-dance plays and puppet theatre provide important information about Korean culture and the later chapters on Madanggŭk and North Korean proletarian drama shed light on area little known or understood by Western students of Korea. This book promises to be a singular contribution to English-language materials on Korean theatre, one written by a scholar with an encyclopedic knowledge of his subject." Richard Nichols, Ph.D. Emeritus Professor of Theatre Pennsylvania State University

Download or read book Masks and Masking written by Gary Edson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For at least 20,000 years, masking has been a mark of cultural evolution and an indication of magical-religious sophistication in society. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the mask as a powerful cultural phenomenon--a means by which human groupings attempted to communicate their dignity and sense of purpose, as well as establish a continuum between the natural and supernatural worlds. It addresses the distinctive environments within which masks flourished, and analyzes the mask as a manifestation of art, ethnology and anthropology.
