  • Faubion Bowers and Theatre Censor- Ship in Occupied Japan
    Books The Man Who Saved Kabuki: Faubion Bowers and Theatre Censor- ship in Occupied Japan. By Shiro Okamoto. Translated and adapted by Samuel L. Leiter. Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 2001; 210 pp. $40.00 cloth, $17.95 paper. A half-century has passed since the end of the American Occupation of Ja- pan. Although much has been written about that period, until recently schol- ars ignored (or were unaware of) hundreds, perhaps thousands, of file boxes stacked somewhere in the darkened corridors of Washington, DC. These doc- uments form a rich archive of information about theatre censorship during the Occupation. While we await the results of research being conducted by Japa- nese theatre scholar James Brandon and by Michael Cassidy, a doctoral student at the University of Pittsburgh writing his dissertation on “The Propaganda Picture Show: Kamishibai during the U.S. Occupation of Japan,” we can get a peek of what lies inside by reading Samuel L. Leiter’s translation and adap- tation of Shiro Okamoto’s remarkable The Man Who Saved Kabuki: Faubion Bowers and Theatre Censorship in Occupied Japan (originally published in 1998). Despite the title, the book is not so much a hagiography (though it is that, too) as a history of the complex interplay between the psychology of a defeated na- tion and its occupying conquerors. We are reminded of General Douglas Mac- Arthur’s absolute belief in his own infallibility and his draconian, paternalistic, often Orientalist ideas, such as his famous dictum that Japan was a nation of 12-year-olds. MacArthur’s goal—that is, the goal of the Occupation itself, for like Louis XIV, MacArthur and the State were one—was nothing less than a total reversal of 2,000 years of Japanese thinking, accomplished through the imposition of American-style “democracy.” Kabuki (all male, filled with de- votion to duty, vendettas, ritual suicide, prostitution, etc.) seemed to embody the feudalistic elements that the Occupation was determined to sweep away.

  • Interview with Faubion Bowers, Marlene J. Mayo Oral Histories Page 1 University of Maryland, College Park ORAL HISTORY PROJECT O
    University of Maryland, College Park ORAL HISTORY PROJECT on the ALLIED OCCUPATION OF JAPAN Interview Subject: Faubion Bowers Place: The Bird Room, The Kennedy Center, Washington, D.C. Date: July 22, 1982 By: Marlene Mayo Q: Mr. Bowers… FB: Call me Faubion. Q: All right, Faubion. I want to say at the start that there is a previous interview that was done by Beate Gordon, years ago. About 1960, I would say, for the Columbia University oral history project. But I thought that your experience in the Occupation and your reputation in the Kabuki theatre and in writing about Japanese drama and indeed East Asian theatre generally, all of that was such that we should probe a bit more and find out more about your experience and more about your background. FB: If there’s anything left, mine it. Q: So, I would like to begin as Beate did and go back and find out where you were born, where you grew up, a little bit about your family, your early interests. FB: I was born in 1917 in Miami, Oklahoma, but Tulsa was sort of my home base. That’s where I grew up. My mother, of course, wanted a girl, which is why she picked this name, Faubion, which could be anything -- as I turned out to be anything. And my mother was very interested in opera, and as much as I disliked her, and as much as I’m relieved – it’s like a mill stone removed from around my neck that she’s dead -- I do owe her a debt.

  • Unbinding the Japanese Novel in English Translation
    Department of Modern Languages Faculty of Arts University of Helsinki UNBINDING THE JAPANESE NOVEL IN ENGLISH TRANSLATION The Alfred A. Knopf Program, 1955 – 1977 Larry Walker ACADEMIC DISSERTATION To be presented, with the permission of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Helsinki, for public examination in Auditorium XII University Main Building, on the 25th of September at 12 noon. Helsinki 2015 ISBN 978-951-51-1472-3 (paperback) ISBN 978-951-51-1473-0 (PDF) Unigrafia Helsinki 2015 ABSTRACT Japanese literature in English translation has a history of 165 years, but it was not until after the hostilities of World War II ceased that any single publisher outside Japan put out a sustained series of novel-length translations. The New York house of Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. published thirty-four titles of Japanese literature in English translation in hardcover between the years 1955 to 1977. This “Program,” as it came to be called, was carried out under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Harold Strauss (1907-1975), who endeavored to bring the then-active modern writers of Japan to the stage of world literature. Strauss and most of the translators who made this Program possible were trained in military language schools during World War II. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the publisher’s policies and publishing criteria in the selection of texts, the actors involved in the mediation process and the preparation of the texts for market, the reception of the texts and their impact on the resulting translation profile of Japanese literature in America, England and elsewhere.

This thesis discusses perspectives on the onnagata in film and scholarship, with an emphasis on Western perspective and representation. It discusses the idea of ‘kabuki queerness’ and onnagata as a staged gender. It also proposes different configurations that would allow women to join kabuki without injecting reality into theatre. v Table of Contents Introduction ..............................................................................................................1

  • Surveying Asian Theatre Studies
    SURVEYING ASIAN THEATRE STUDIES Siyuan Liu University Of British Columbia, Canada Before discussing Asian theatre studies in the West, I want to give you some background about my involvement with the Association for Asian Performance (AAP) and Asian Theatre Journal (ATJ) as well as the projects I worked on regarding Asian theatre in general, so as to give you some sense of where I came from and what shaped my understanding of the history and current scholarship of the field. I first participated in the AAP annual conference in 2005 when I won that year’s emerging scholar award. Later, I was AAP’s Membership Outreach Director for two years and President for four years. During those six years, I organized two panels on “Founders of the Field” that looked at the scholarship, teaching, and theatrical productions of the first generation of Asian theatre scholars in the West. I also co- edited the two follow-up “special series” on these pioneers in Asian Theatre Journal in 2011 and 2013 respectively. They were followed by two AAP panels and ATJ special series on “Founding Mothers of the Field” that celebrated female pioneers of Asian theatre studies. As a result of these four rounds of collective efforts between 2011 and 2017, Asian Theatre Journal has published articles on a total of thirty-one male and female scholars, teachers, artists, and cultural facilitators whose tireless efforts have successfully introduced Asian theatre to the Western stages, classrooms, and scholarly discourse. Furthermore, the first “founders” series also included a history of the Association for Asian Theatre by James Brandon, the great scholar of kabuki and Southeast Asian theatre who unfortunately passed away in 2015.

Moved to write about the incident, in March 1971 he began composing the short epistle Reflections on the Death of Mishima. Translated into Japanese by Tobita Shigeo, the article was serialized in one of Japan’s most popular gossip magazines, the Shuukan Post ( Weekly Post) in October and November of 1971.
