This book examines the intersection between sound and modernity in
dramatic and musical performance in Manila and the Asia-Pacific
between 1869 and 1948. During this period, tolerant political
regimes resulted in the globalization of capitalist relations and
the improvement of transcontinental travel and worldwide
communication. This allowed modern modes of theatre and music
consumption to instigate the uniformization of cultural products
and processes, while simultaneously fragmenting societies into
distinct identities, institutions, and nascent nation-states.
Taking the performing bodies of migrant musicians as the locus of
sound, this book argues that the global movement of acoustic
modernities was replicated and diversified through its multiple
subjectivities within empire, nation, and individual agencies. It
traces the arrival of European travelling music and theatre
companies in Asia which re-casted listening into an act of modern
cultural consumption, and follows the migration of Manila musicians
as they engaged in the modernization project of the neighboring
Asian cities.
