EALC 26400 /46400 - Creation and Re-Creation of Yuan Drama

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the Yuan zaju, or "variety play," both as a cluster of diverse performing arts of the Yuan dynasty (1271 to 1368) and as a legendary golden age of the Chinese theater created retrospectively by Ming drama aficionados and later by modern scholars. Taking the Yuanka n zaju sanshi zhong , a rare window into the print world of Yuan performance texts, as the core thread of our inquiry, we examine the linguistic, literary, musical, and other features of Yuan drama. We explore its rich after-life in the Ming by examining the complex relationships between Min g zaj u and their Yuan predecessors . Y. He. Autumn.
