A Study of Politics of Culture and Globalization Theory and Practice of American Performing Arts sine 20th Century

这个项目是我前几年在科研资助项目“文化政治”、“艺术管理”和“20世纪美国表演艺术公共政策理论与实践”的支持下，对美国表演艺术中的政治与文化方面的研究进行构思和发展的。本研究的目的是考察全球化时代，特别是911恐怖袭击后美国表演艺术的理论和实践。在进行这项研究时，将涉及三个主题：1。美国戏剧领域中与恐怖主义暴力有关的身体表现美国表演艺术中全球化文化的产生与接受文化的全球与地方集中与分散及其实践。在研究的第一阶段，我重新审视了跨文化主义的概念和杂糅的概念在戏剧领域以及一般的文化领域，以及它们是如何在9/11之后被转移的。我也有机会回应两篇关于性别暴力的论文，这两篇论文是在我自己大学的COE项目年度会议上发表的。这让我有机会重新思考暴力的代表性。我给出的response paper包含在这个研究的装订报告中。我还收集了许多有意进行国际和/或跨文化合作的艺术家的合作作品和制作的实践信息，并采访了这些艺术家（导演、剧作家、艺术总监和经理），以了解实际的合作过程。我现在正在准备一篇论文，准备在2008年春季举行的比较戏剧协会年会上发表。

This project was conceived and developed out of the research which I conducted with the support from Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research in the previous years, Cultural Politics, Arts Management, and Public Policies Theory and Practice of 20th Century American Performing Arts, which also focused on the aspect of politics and culture in the American performing arts.The purpose of this research was to examine both theory and practice of American performing arts in the age of globalization especially after the 9111 terrorist attack of World Trade Center in New York City.In conducting this research, three topics were set to be covered:1.Representation of the body in relation to the violence of terrorism in the field of American theatre.2.Production and Reception of globalized culture in the American performing arts3.The Global and the Local Centralization and Decentralization of Culture and the actual practice.During the first stages of the research, I have reexamined the concept of interculturalism and the notion of hybridity in the field of theatre as well as culture in general and how they had been shifted after the 9/11. I also had the opportunity to respond to two papers which dealt with violence in relation to gender and were given at the annual conference of COE program at my own university. This gave me a chance to rethink of violence in terms of representation. The response paper I gave is included in the bound report of this research.I also collected information about practices of collaborative works and productions of various artists who are intending international and/or intercultural collaboration and interviewed those artists (directors, playwrights, artistic directors and managers) to find out about the actual collaborative process. I am now in the process of preparing a paper to present at an annual conference of the Association of Comparative Drama which will be held in the spring of 2008.
