Performing Korea

This new book from one of the world's leading theatre scholars focuses on the way that Korean culture and society 'presents' itself in the performing arts and through cultural performance. Patrice Pavis explores a wide range of Korean cultural productions across theatre, film, performance and music to re-evaluate the current state of theories of globalization and culture, and offers a much-needed discussion of national identity and performance from this neglected region.
