Performance, mémoire et patrimoine culturel au Royaume-Uni et au Japon
| Abstract | Japan and the UK have exceptionally strong and internationally-recognised traditions of sacred and secular premodern performance. Such performance practices both reflected and responded to contemporary cultural norms and values and helped to shape those for present and future generations. In the twenty-first century, certain of these premodern performance traditions, from the stage plays of Shakespeare and Marlowe to the classical musical drama of Noh and dance drama of Kabuki, continue to exert significant influence in both cultures. Yet more wide-ranging practices of performance, from street pageantry and festive events to religious play cycles, rituals and ceremony, were also deeply embedded within both premodern cultures and have a strong residual presence today. This project investigates the role these performing arts traditions played in developing a sense of distinct cultural identity in both countries, and how these practices and modes of performance were transmitted (as text, material culture and skills-based practices) into the present day. Drawing upon the rich religious and secular site-specific performance traditions at a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Canterbury and at Japan's most sacred Shinto shrine in Ise, the team of researchers will use performance-as-research workshops at site-specific locations, as well as other forms of experiential learning and discovery, to investigate how performance has impacted upon local and national communities. This project builds upon and extends pre-existing research collaborations between researchers at the University of Kent and Kogakkan University to find answers to pressing questions about the role of performance in communities' sense of the past in contemporary multicultural societies. It sets up a much larger project, developing a method to analyse the role of heritage in cultural and national identity, and how cultural heritage transmission occurs within multicultural environments in a largely secular age. Furthermore, it considers how the performance of pre-modern material today relates to enduring and existing cultural and religious practices and how it is now perceived. We will compare how these practices have been valued historically, both culturally and economically, by whom, when, and where, and how pre-modern performance has been made meaningful to different audiences. The team of investigators have identified four key themes-(1) transmission, (2) faith, (3) space, and (4) gender-that we wish to analyse through performance in this scoping project. The researchers involved seek to consider the role universities like Kent and Kogakkan, relatively embedded in culturally-significant and sacred sites, play in both the dissemination and analysis of cultural heritage. |
