Charting their training, travels, and performances, this innovative study explores the role of the artists that roamed the Chinese countryside in support of Mao's communist revolution. DeMare traces the development of Mao's 'cultural army' from its genesis in Red Army propaganda teams to its full development as a largely civilian force composed of amateur and professional drama troupes in the early years of the PRC. Drawing from memoirs, artistic handbooks, and rare archival sources, Mao's Cultural Army uncovers the arduous and complex process of creating revolutionary dramas that would appeal to China's all-important rural audiences. The Communists strived for a disciplined cultural army to promote party policies, but audiences often shunned modern and didactic shows, and instead clamoured for traditional works. DeMare illustrates how drama troupes, caught between the party and their audiences, did their best to resist the ever growing reach of the PRC state.
Brian DeMare is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History, Tulane University, where he teaches courses on modern Chinese history. He has published articles in two of the top journals in the field, The China Journal and Modern Chinese Literature and Culture, and lived in China for five years. During that time, he conducted several research trips into the countryside, visiting archives and interviewing active drama troupes and has ties with Chinese academics studying the countryside in Shanxi. One of his main research sites is Long Bow, well-known in the West due to William Hinton, who wrote Fanshen, about land reform in that village.
叙事太糟糕了,把这么丰富有趣的材料写得这么枯燥干涩也是不容易。另外方法上基本就是个组织史,让人觉得这本书并不是关于DT的而是关于CCP如何深入基层的,并没有说服我 Chinese revolution was a profoundly theatrical event. 唐小兵的评论很在理,过于instrumentalism. 中间有一些细节很有趣,比如私人剧团和官方对于新技术诸如special effects的相反态度。
评分稍有常识的人都知道戏是“假”的。可结合Rosemary A. Roberts《Maoist Model Theatre:The Semiotics of Gender and Sexuality in the Chinese Cultural Revolution》阅读
评分我们Tulane自己人,必须推荐一下。
评分呵呵呵呵呵
评分主要还是描述性的,分析性的论述没有超过“乡村剧团很重要”太多,不过导论里处理现有(低级)研究的方式值得借鉴,另外China Journal and MCLC are really not "two of the top journals in the field"...
