Produktinformationen "Telling Other Tales"
Since it first mesmerised Western audiences in the early twentieth century, Balinese masked dance-drama (Topeng) has drawn sustained scholarly attention. Yet until now, much of that attention has been filtered through non-Balinese perspectives. Telling Other Tales seeks to redress this imbalance by presenting Topeng as a living, plural tradition-one whose meaning is co-created by Balinese and non-Balinese performers, scholars, and other observers alike. In these essays, academic rigor and personal testimony sit in rich dialogue. Historians, anthropologists, and theatre scholars engage alongside Balinese priests, musicians, Topeng practitioners, weaving together formal analysis with evocative reflections. Together, they illuminate how this ancient theatrical form is not only studied, but lived, acted, and re imagined in the everyday.This volume will appeal to scholars of performance, Asian studies, and cultural anthropology-or to anyone curious about how traditional forms both shape and are shaped by the many people who carry them forward.
