Faces of Tradition in Chinese Performing Arts examines the key role
of the individual in the development of traditional Chinese
performing arts such as music and dance. These artists and their
artistic works-the "faces of tradition"-come to represent and
reconfigure broader fields of cultural production in China today.
The contributors to this volume explore the ways in which
performances and recordings, including singing competitions,
textual anthologies, ethnographic videos, and CD albums, serve as
discursive spaces where individuals engage with and redefine larger
traditions and themselves. By focusing on the performance,
scholarship, collection, and teaching of instrumental music,
folksong, and classical dance from a variety of disciplines-these
case studies highlight the importance of the individual in
determining how traditions have been and are represented,
maintained, and cultivated.
