Bodies and Transformance in Taiwanese Contemporary Theater

Peilin Liang, "Bodies and Transformance in Taiwanese Contemporary Theater"
English | ISBN: 0367205335 | 2019 | 158 pages | EPUB | 3 MB

In Bodies and Transformance in Taiwanese Contemporary Theater, Peilin Liang develops a theory of bodily transformation.
Proposing the concept of transformance, a conscious and rigorous process of self-cultivation toward a reconceptualized body, Liang shows how theater practitioners of minoritized cultures adopt transformance as a strategy to counteract the embodied practices of ideological and economic hegemony.

By focusing on the development of transformance between the years of 2000–2008, a tumultuous political watershed in Taiwan’s history, the author succeeds in bridging postcolonialism and interculturalism in her conceptual framework.
