Product Description

This book is a study of the relation between theatre art and ideology in the Chinese experimentations with new selfhood as a result of Ibsens impact. It also explores Ibsenian notions of self, women and gender in China and provides an illuminating study of Chinese theatre as a public sphere in the dissemination of radical ideas. Ibsen is the major source of modern Chinese selfhood which carries notions of personal and social liberation and has exerted great impacts on Chinese revolutions since the beginning of the twentieth century. Ibsens idea of the self as an individual has led to various experimentations in theatre, film and fiction to project new notions of selfhood, in particular womens selfhood, throughout the history of modern China. Even today, China is experimenting with Ibsens notions of gender, power, individualism and self.
