"The plays presented here were first performed between 1769 and 1832, a time when the Japanese puppet theatre known as Bunraku was beginning to lose its pre-eminence to Kabuki. During this period, however, several important puppet plays were created that went on to become standards in both the Bunraku and Kabuki repertoires; three of the plays in this volume achieved this level of importance. This span of some sixty-odd years was also a formative one in the development of how plays were presented, an important feature in the modern staging of works from the traditional plebeian theatre. Only a handful of complete and uncut plays-often as much as ten hours long-are produced in Bunraku or Kabuki nowadays; included here is one of these. Two among the four plays contained in this volume are examples of the much more common practice of staging a single popular act or scene from a much longer drama that itself is seldom, if ever, performed in its entirety today.Kabuki, while better known outside Japan, has been a great beneficiary of the puppet theatre, borrowing perhaps as much as half of its body of work from Bunraku dramas. Bunraku, in turn, has raided the Kabuki repertoire but to a far more modest degree. The final play in this collection, The True Tale of Asagao, is an instance of this uncommon reverse borrowing. Moreover, it is an example of yet another way in which some plays have come to be presented: a coherent subplot of a longer work that gained an independent theatrical existence while its parent drama has since disappeared from the stage. These later eighteenth-century works display a continued development toward greater attention to the theatrical features of puppet plays as opposed to the earlier, more literary approach found most notably in the dramas of Chikamatsu Monzaemon (d. 1725). Newly translated and illustrated for the general reader and the specialist, the plays in this volume are accompanied by informative introductions, extensive notes on stage action, and discussions of the various changes that Bunraku underwent, particularly in the latter half of the eighteenth century, its golden age." -- Publisher's description.

"Voir le théâtre japonais en Européen. Le vivre au jour le jour tout en saisissant ce qu'il engendre comme souvenirs du théâtre de Genet, Mnouchkine, Brook ou Vitez. "Les mythes se re-pensent entre eux", dit Lévi-Strauss. Les théâtres aussi. Dans des séquences brèves, Georges Banu surprend les moments d'un art porté à son comble - la disparition de l'acteur de nô, les exploits des maîtres de kabuki, la grâce de Tamasaburo ou les danses de Ohno - tout en révélant ce dont on ne parle jamais : la salle et ses passions. Son sommeil et son agitation, ses cris et ses cadeaux. Salle de spécialistes qui saluent l'art d'un acteur et la gloire de son nom. Si le Japon est l'empire des signes, son théâtre est l'empire du nom. C'est lui qu'on honore là où l'acteur s'en va sans plus jamais revenir. L'acteur qui ne revient pas - récit-aveu dans l'intimité d'une image : l'acteur du non-retour. Un aperçu historique présente les principales formes de théâtre traditionnel japonais : le nô, le kabuki et le bunraku."--

This book is a provocative new study of global feminist activism that opposes neoliberal regimes across several sites including Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, Latin America and the United States. The feminist performative acts featured in the book contest the aggressive unravelling of collectively won gains in gender, sexual and racial equality, the appearance of new planes of discrimination, and the social consequences of political economies based on free market ideology. The investigations of affect theory follow the circulation of intensities – of political impingements on bodies, subjective and symbolic violence, and the shock of dispossession ¬– within and beyond individuals to the social and political sphere. Affect is a helpful matrix for discussing the volatile interactivity between performer and spectator, whether live or technologically mediated. Contending that there is no activism without affect, the collection brings back to the table the activist and hopeful potential of feminism.
