PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Guo Chao is an Assistant Professor of Chinese at Sun Yat-sen University, China. He publishes extensively on Chinese history, culture and society in journals such as Asian Theatre Journal, Asian Studies Review, Journal of Gender Studies and Cambridge Opera Journal.
Guo Chao’s comprehensive study of male dan in traditional Chinese theatre provides fresh insights into Chinese culture and history. The book draws a chronological chart of male dan for around 500 years, examining the differences and/or relations between male dan and homosexuality. His informative analysis allows readers to understand this particular Chinese phenomenon. Mei Sun, National Central University Guo Chao offers an engaging and original contribution to the study of the male dan, tracing this prominent but often misunderstood figure from its late imperial heyday to the twenty-first century. Nimbly navigating between sociocultural history, theatre and performance studies, and gender studies, Chinese Traditional Theatre and Male Dan courageously complicates received narratives, whether unsympathetic or celebratory.
