SUMMARY:Performing Religion: Chinese Catholic Biblical Drama in the Republi
 can Era
DESCRIPTION:\n	John T. P. Lai (Associate Professor in Religious Studies\, C
 hinese University of Hong Kong\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n	Chair/discussan
 t: David Wang (Edward C. Henderson Professor of Chinese Literature\, East 
 Asian Languages and Civilizations Department\, Harvard University)\n\n	 \
 n\n	Co-sponsored with the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\n	 \n\n\n
 	\n		In the aftermath of the collapse of the Qing regime in 1911\, a corpu
 s of dramatic texts\, chiefly rewritings of biblical stories\, were publis
 hed by the Catholic presses in China during the Republican era (1912-49). 
 Some remarkable biblical tales were creatively represented in a variety of
  traditional Chinese opera\, folk performing arts and modern spoken drama.
  These performative texts were periodically put on stage in Catholic churc
 hes\, schools\, and orphanages during the religious festivals and celebrat
 ions. This talk investigates the contexts and ways in which the biblical n
 arratives were transformed into Chinese dramas\; and the religious functio
 ns these works attempted to perform. \n\n\n
