This volume reshapes a contemporary understanding of
research in theatre and performance arts. Bringing together
distinguished scholars from all over the world, the book serves as
an arena for international scholars to introduce innovative
research methodologies and disseminate their research findings
regarding VLT, data archiving, and digital history and discusses
the impacts of digital culture in art production, stage
performance, film, and literature. The Ibsen focus in the book is
illustrative of the power of digital database research that is
generating new relations in spatial-historical dimensions that have
otherwise gone unnoticed. It demonstrates how a new methodology can
bring practical benefits to handling big data with the support of
digital technologies. In line with the post-pandemic landscape,
this book engages a reflection on how the digital revolution
has brought about changes and challenges, and constraints and
breakthroughs within the field of theatre and performance
arts. It is of appeal to theatre artists and practitioners,
scholars, critics, librarians, digital archive engineers, and
postgraduate students interested in theatre, performance studies,
digital media, information technology, library science,
communication, education, sociology, as well as political
science. “The book investigates the latest
methodological development in digital cultures and performance
arts, which significantly contributes to the ever-changing and
increasingly advanced technological culture in this
field.”
- Jessica Tsui-yan Li, York University,
Canada "In line with the post-pandemic landscape, this

This book addresses issues of how the cultures in Hong Kong,
Singapore and Malaysia have been Englishized in postcolonial and
globcalized contexts, not just in terms of language, but also in
writers'/people's subjectivity. Taking a cultural-literary approach
to the study of Englishized subjectivity, the book offers a unique
study of hybridized literary/language forms by relating them to
bilingual thinking and bicultural sensibility. Poets, novelists and
playwrights have different strategies to cope with new images and
new forms of expression that can capture their sense of hybridized
identity, and as a result, hybridity becomes creativity.
Shakespeare has been introduced to Hong Kong and China for more
than one hundred years. Not only are Shakespeare's characters and
stories known to the Chinese as part of the most treasured wealth

This volume presents a broad coverage of theoretical issues that
deal with digital culture, representation and ideology in art and
museums, and other cultural sites, offering new insights into
issues of representation in the digitization of art. It critically
examines the roles of museum and archives in the digital age and
reexamines the intricate relations between sight and site in art,
museums, exhibitions, theme parks, theatre performances, music
videos, and films. The collection represents a multidisciplinary
approach to the complex issues underlying the advent of
technologies and digital culture. The rise of visual culture since
the twentieth century can be accounted for by the advent of
technology in film, TV, museum exhibitions, and the wide use of
websites, but it can also be understood as a paradigmatic shift
toward representation as a visual means to interpret culture, with
new understandings of the site-sight dilemma and the
co-implications in related tensions. Complicating the issue of
representation is the rise of digital culture, as digital sites
replace actual physical sites. This book explores how the virtual
has replaced the actual, and in what ways, and to what effects, the
digital has displaced the physical. With contributions by museum
curators, communications scholars, visual artists, theatre artists,
filmmakers, literary critics, and historians, this volume is of
appeal to academics and graduate students in information science,
art, media, performance, literary and cultural studies, and
history. “The book binds together different concepts such
as site, sight and digitalization in a very original way. It
convincingly gathers contributions from academics and
practitioners, artists and museum specialists. The chapters are
theoretically well-founded, show an interesting breadth of content
and are also dealing with current developments.” — Monika
Gänssbauer, Professor of Chinese and Head of the Institute of
Asian, Middle Eastern and Turkish Studies, Stockholm University,
Sweden “The chapters raise important and latest questions and
discussions on the impact of digital technology has on art,
culture, creativity, representation and innovation. They are
original in dealing with latest examples in recent years,
especially during the pandemic, with reflections and philosophical
discussions on the transformation digital culture undergoes in
relation to human and posthuman contexts, with examinations of art
works, archives and museum collections, exhibitions, theme parks,
theatre performances, films and music videos that encompass
cultures from ancient to contemporary, from the West to the East,
and from physical to digital.” — Jack Leong, Associate Dean of
Research and Open Scholarship, York University Libraries, Toronto,
Canada
