Subi Shahs Holistic theory of Nepali performing arts: implications for research and teaching

Abstract

Subi Shah (1922-2008) was a Nepali performer and educator whose life’s work was to preserve and promote Nepali folk genres of music, song, dance, and drama, especially the wide variety of these that make up the tradition known as Pangdure. Raised in this tradition, he became one of its leading exponents. He did so outside of the academy and was thus free from disciplinary strictures. Although he was consulted and honored by state cultural policymakers in the 1980s and 1990s, many of his contributions remain unrecognized.

It concludes that teaching these worldviews and theories will help.....

Research on the power and subversion of beauty based on Yasunari Kawabata\s Make-up short stories

Lee, Ming Ren

Abstract

The article Makeup by Yasunari Kawabata provides a slender insight into the horrible experience that people overlook the smile of a girl with makeup and thus peeks into the unknown secrets of human development. Makeup is a kind of mirroring catering for women, reflecting their own life values through the visual, linguistic and symbolic standards of men. In ancient times , women had a high and sacred status and were worshipped by men for their reproductive organs. Men turned to language and writing to create a world of history in an attempt to conceal the sublime nature of women, while women were gradually sculpted as wea k, subservient and beautiful in men's eyes. In the symbolic world, men have unconsciously given women the power of beauty, which is the legacy of men's subversion of matriarchal society, but also the source of women's subversion of patriarchal power. Ther efore, make up is the attachment and sorrow for beauty in men' s mirror image, but because of this, wom.....
