Dancing the Dharma
Author: Susan Blakely KleinPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 1684176239
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
Dancing the Dharma examines the theory and practice of allegory by exploring a select group of medieval Japanese noh plays and treatises. Susan Blakeley Klein demonstrates how medieval esoteric commentaries on the tenth-century poem-tale Ise monogatari (Tales of Ise) and the first imperial waka poetry anthology Kokin wakashū influenced the plots, characters, imagery, and rhetorical structure of seven plays (Maiguruma, Kuzu no hakama, Unrin’in, Oshio, Kakitsubata, Ominameshi, and Haku Rakuten) and two treatises (Zeami’s Rikugi and Zenchiku’s Meishukushū). In so doing, she shows that it was precisely the allegorical mode—vital to medieval Japanese culture as a whole—that enabled the complex layering of character and poetic landscape we typically associate with noh. Klein argues that understanding noh’s allegorical structure and paying attention to the localized historical context for individual plays are key to recovering their original function as political and religious allegories. Now viewed in the context of contemporaneous beliefs and practices of the medieval period, noh plays take on a greater range and depth of meaning and offer new insights to readers today into medieval Japan.

Book Description
Excerpt from Dancing as an Art and Pastime The purpose and plan of the present volume are set forth in the introductory chapter 5 but it seems only right that I Should express my thanks to those pupils who have been 'kind enough to aid me in illustrating the various attitudes that may or may not properly be assumed in dancing. If the positions described as good appear in some cases to fall short of the ideal of perfection, it Should be remembered by those disposed to be hypercritical, that there is a great difference between assuming a difficult attitude momentarily in dancing, and remaining in one without movement, sufficiently long _for even a rapid photograph to be taken. It was found that in this case a really instantaneous process would be impracticable, and many good negatives of groups were spoilt through a Slight movement on the part of one of the subjects. Beyond this, the work of reproduction necessarily involves a Slight loss of detail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
