{"product_id":"pride-prejudice-and-politics-in-dance-von-juanann-tai","title":"Pride, Prejudice and Politics in Dance","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the past, DANCE was never traditionally valued  as  a high culture in Taiwan, instead, it was widely  disparaged as one of the lowest professions. When  politics got involved in its promotion, however,  its  value and status were both greatly  enhanced. Henceforth, a hidden, unspoken power has  been bestowed on dance. Pride, Prejudice and  Politics  in Dance: The Rise of Dance as a Symbolic Power in  Taiwan is the first book to look at this subject  from  a socio-cultural perspective. Particular attention  is  given to inequalities created by control of  politics  in the dance field in Taiwan. Examples are provided  to demonstrate political involvement in dance in  four  political stages: the Manchurian Ching Dynasty  (before 1895), the Japanese colonisation (1895- 1945),  the Chinese Nationalist Party martial law period  (1949-1987) and the post-martial law era (1987- ).  This book also draws attention to the reciprocal  relationship between politics and dance and change  in  the power relations which resulted from this  relationship, in the past and at present.  Discussions in this book may act as a mirror to  reflect on similar situations in other parts of the  world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783843354813\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Rise of Dance as a Symbolic Power in Taiwan\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783843354813","offer_id":39497119989853,"sku":"9783843354813","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/b5530e00-c204-4832-bf70-32222677d2ec.jpg?v=1775713559","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/pride-prejudice-and-politics-in-dance-von-juanann-tai","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
