International Comparative Research on Asian Modern and Contemporary Theatres

这个研究项目小组是由许多亚洲成员组织的，如韩国、台湾、中国、印度、新加坡、马来西亚、美国和英国。本研究项目与这些研究人员建立了研究网络，并每年召开两次研究会议。在这连续的研究会议中，我们讨论了亚洲戏剧的各种问题；翻译、亚洲间性、妇女问题与现代化。特别是对亚洲剧院的现代化问题进行了探讨，并提出了一些明确的观点。日本戏剧近代化影响着日本殖民时期东亚戏剧近代化。然而，这些亚洲国家的当代戏剧互动不仅试图揭示过去，而且试图克服这个问题。我们还讨论了传统剧院是如何被重新发现并试图保护它们的，并最终成为这些独立国家的种族和文化身份的象征。
