Drawing on the aesthetic resources of classical Chinese drama and the legacy of twentieth century transcultural theatre, this talk explores the notion of theatricality as a way to revisit some of the central questions in the modern politics of visibility and disappearance, as well as artistic agency. Yan is the author of Chinese Women Writers and the Feminist Imagination 1905-1945 (forthcoming, Routledge.) In addition to her UCLA appointment, Yan is Professor of Humanities at Tsinghua University in Beijing and Zijiang Chair Professor of Humanistic Studies at East China Normal University in Shanghai.

Sponsored by the Performance Studies Research Focus Group and the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies.
