Download or read book Dancing on Bones written by Katie Stallard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dancing on Bones is the story of how the leaders of China, Russia, and North Korea manipulate the past to serve the present and secure the future of authoritarian rule.History didn't end. Democracy didn't triumph. America's leading role in the world is no longer assured. Instead, authoritarian rule is on the rise, and the global order established after 1945 is under attack. This is the phenomenon Katie Stallard tackles in Dancing on Bones, probing the version ofhistory that leaders in China, Russia, and North Korea teach their citizens.These three states consistently top the list of threats to the global order and US national security. All are governed by autocratic regimes. All have nuclear weapons and believe that the era of American hegemony is fading. All three share a sense of historical grievance, rooted in the wars of thelast century - specifically World War II and the Korean War - that their leaders exploit to shore up popular support at home and fuel increasingly aggressive foreign policy. Decades after the real guns fell silent, these wars rage on in China, Russia, and North Korea, reimagined in popular media,public memorials, and patriotic education campaigns. This is not history as it was, but as the current rulers need it to be. Since coming to power in China, Xi Jinping has almost doubled the length of the war with Japan, Vladimir Putin has brought back bombastic military parades through Red Square,and Kim Jong Un has invested vast sums in rebuilding war museums in his impoverished state, while historians who try to challenge the official line are silenced and jailed. But this didn't start with the current leaders and it won't end with them.Drawing on first-hand, on-the-ground reporting, Dancing on Bones is the story of how the leaders of China, Russia, and North Korea manipulate the past to serve the present and secure the future of authoritarian rule. If we want to understand where these three nuclear powers are heading, we mustunderstand the stories they are telling their citizens about the past.

Download or read book Relations between Contemporary Dance and Korean New Traditional Dance written by Sungjae Jun and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2015 in the subject Theater Studies, Dance, , language: English, abstract: Have you ever asked yourself, which relations there are between Korean New Traditional Dance and Contemporary Dance? Traveling all around the world, people are watching me with big eyes as soon as I speak about my dance career. Many of them, even artists, ask me, which are the relations between Contemporary Dance and Korean New Traditional Dance. There is always a question mark on the face of people, when I try to explain that the Korean Dance, for example Korean Ballet or Korean Modern Dance, are related to Contemporary Dance. It is difficult for them to understand the subject at first. For many people, regard to the content of the Contemporary Dance is either an abstract subject or only an American art of Dance. With this small contribution I want to show the importance of Korean Dance generally and its relations to worldwide Dance. This book should even show the similarities between Korean New Traditional Dance and Contemporary Dance today. It is supposed to give answers to all my friends and colleges, who ask themselves: what are the differences and similarities of these dances? [The author is no native speaker.]

Set in 1989, a year after the Olympic Games in South Korea, this is the true story of Michele, a young dancer, whose naïve dream of working in the Far East quickly turns into a nightmare. Signing a six-month contract, she is whisked off to the other side of the world where she finds herself in a host of situations which she is ill-equipped to deal with. Dancing her way across Korea in a trio with Louise and Sharon, she is propositioned by the Mafia, turned away by the British Embassy, caught in a student riot, and taken to Korean brothels to name but a few of her ordeals and adventures. Both shocking and humorous, this Double Award Winning Memoir takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions as you follow the life of a timid young girl, to see if she will be strong enough to find her voice and learn to stand up for herself in a male-orientated world of alcohol, sex and seedy nightclubs.

Download or read book Salpuri Chum A Korean Dance for Expelling Evil Spirits written by Eun-Joo Lee and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of Salpuri-Chum, a traditional Korean dance for expelling evil spirits. The authors explore the origins and practice of Salpuri-Chum. The ancient Korean people viewed their misfortunes as coming from evil spirits; therefore, they wanted to expel the evil spirits to recover their happiness. The music for Salpuri-Chum is called Sinawi rhythm. It has no sheet music and lacks the concept of metronomic technique. In this rhythm, the dancer becomes a conductor. Salpuri-Chum is an artistic performance that resolves the people’s sorrow. In many cases, it is a form of sublimation. It is also an effort to transform the pain of reality into beauty, based on the Korean people’s characteristic merriment. It presents itself, then, as a form of immanence. Moreover, Salpuri-Chum is unique in its use of a piece of white fabric. The fabric, as a symbol of the Korean people’s ego ideal, signifies Salpuri-Chum’s focus as a dance for resolving their misfortunes.
Download or read book K pop Dance written by Chuyun Oh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about K-pop dance and the evolution and presence of its dance fandom on social media. Based on five years of ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, choreography, and participation-observation with 40 amateur and professional K-pop dancers in New York, California, and Seoul, the book traces the evolution of K-pop dance from the 1980s to the 2020s and explains its distinctive feature called ‘gestural point choreography’ – front-driven, two-dimensional, decorative and charming movements of the upper body and face – as an example of what the author theorizes as ‘social media dance.’ It also explores K-pop cover dance as a form of intercultural performance, suggesting that, by imitating and idolizing K-pop dance, fans are eventually ‘fandoming’ themselves and their bodies. Presenting an ethnographic study of K-pop dance and its fandom, this book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Media Studies, Korean Studies, Performance Studies, and Dance.

Download or read book Performing Korea written by Patrice Pavis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an exploration of the intersection of Korean theatre practice with Western literary theatre. Gangnam Style, K-Pop, the Korean Wave : who hasn't heard of these recent Korean phenomena? Having spent two years in Korea as a theatrical and cultural ‘tourist’, Patrice Pavis was granted an unparalleled look at contemporary Korean culture. As well as analyzing these pop culture mainstays, however, he also discovered many uniquely Korean jewels of contemporary art and performance. Examining topics including contemporary dance, puppets, installations, modernized pansori, 'Koreanized' productions of European Classics and K-pop and its parody, this book provides a framework for an intercultural and globalized approach to Korean theatre. With the first three chapters of the book outlining methodology, the remaining chapters test – often deconstructing and transforming in the process - this framework, using focused case studies to introduce the reader to the cultural and artistic world of a nation with an increasing international presence in theatre and the arts alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a photo book of Korean dance. This is made by the immigrants who came to the United States to inherit and spread Korean culture and to share Korean culture with the multicultural American society. All photos in this book are from the Chicago Korean Dance Company's performances, focusing on the first ten years (2009-2019), six grand performances that were held every two years. Pictures of other performances and international performances are included in CKDC history pages. It should be noted that 98 percent of all dance costumes and dance props in the performance are made and imported from Korea. Korean dance is divided into three categories: court dance and folk dances that were passed down for a long time, folk dances that were created with the base of Korean dance movements, and original choreography dances that portray modern issues along with modern costumes. Each of the dances in the book is specified into these three categories, and it is listed in the programs. It should also be noted that Muyong and Chum are used interchangeably in Korean language, and both of these words mean "dance" in English. This book is made to inform the viewers about Korean dance, costumes, accessories, and props and to record the cultural activities of CKDC and Korean immigrants.
