This book studies the intersection of performance and nationalism
in South Asia.It traces the emergence of the culture of nationalism
from the late nineteenth century through to contemporary times.
Drawing on various theatrical performance texts, it looks at the
ways in which performative narratives have reflected the national
narrative and analyses the role performance has played in
engendering nationhood. The volume discusses themes such as
political martyrdom as performative nationalism, the revitalisation
of nationalism through new media, the sanitisation of physical
gestures in dance, the performance of nationhood through violence
in Tajiki films, as well as K-Pop and the new northeastern identity
in India. A unique contribution to the study of nationalism, this
book will be useful for scholars and researchers of history,
theatre and performance studies, cultural studies, postcolonial
studies, modern India, Asian studies, political studies, social
anthropology and sociology.
