This course examines Chinese and foreign theatrical cultures through the prism of gender and sexuality. It mainly
consists of six units, namely “What is Theatre?” “Women in Ancient Greek Tragedies,” “Gender Politics in
Shakespearean Drama,” “Nora: Ibsen and Chinese Huaju,” “Nandan and Onnagata: Female Impersonation in Chinese
and Japanese Theatres,” and “All-Female Genres: Yueju and Takarazuka.” Students are given the opportunity to
appreciate the marvelous worlds of Greek tragedy, Renaissance drama, jingju, yueju, kabuki, and takarazuka, in all of
which the parameter of gender plays a prominent role. In addition, the course also introduces metaphysical ideas
regarding acting, gender, and performativity by Chinese and foreign artists and philosophers. Students are encouraged
to consider these theoretical accounts not as disengaged contemplations but rather as critical resources to help facilitate
a deeper understanding of the relationship between theatre and gender in each given cultural context.
