Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Satoko Shimazaki Revisits Three Centuries Of Kabuki Theater, Reframing It As A Key Player In The Formation Of An Early Modern Urban Identity In Edo Japan And Exploring The Process That Resulted In Its Recreation In Tokyo As A National Theatrical Tradition. Challenging The Prevailing Understanding Of Early Modern Kabuki As A Subversive Entertainment And A Threat To Shogunal Authority, Shimazaki Argues That Kabuki Instilled A Sense Of Shared History In The Inhabitants Of Edo (Presentday Tokyo) By Invoking 'Worlds,' Or Sekai, Derived From Earlier Military Tales, And Overlaying Them Onto The Present. She Then Analyzes The Profound Changes That Took Place In Edo Kabuki Toward The End Of The Early Modern Period, Which Witnessed The Rise Of A New Type Of Character: The Vengeful Female Ghost.Shimazaki'S Bold Reinterpretation Of The History Of Kabuki Centers On The Popular Ghost Play Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan (The Eastern Seaboard Highway Ghost Stories At Yotsuya, 1825) By Tsuruya Nanboku Iv. Drawing Not Only On Kabuki Scripts But Also On A Wide Range Of Other Sources, From Theatrical Ephemera And Popular Fiction To Medical And Religious Texts, She Sheds Light On The Development Of The Ubiquitous Trope Of The Vengeful Female Ghost And Its Illumination Of New Themes At A Time When The Samurai World Was Losing Its Relevance. She Explores In Detail The Process By Which Nineteenthcentury Playwrights Began Dismantling The Edo Tradition Of 'Presenting The Past' By Abandoning Their Longstanding Reliance On The Sekai. She Then Reveals How, In The 1920S, A New Generation Of Kabuki Playwrights, Critics, And Scholars Reinvented The Form Again, 'Textualizing' Kabuki So That It Could Be Pressed Into Service As A Guarantor Of National Identity.
