What are the advantages of looking at the performance cultures of the Chinese-speaking world through a trans-Asian lens? What can the \u201ctrans-\u201d signify in the performances of the Sinophone? Unlike the field of Sinophone cinemas, where \u201ctrans-\u201d approaches, particularly the transnational, have been debated widely, there has not yet been a comprehensive theoretical reflection of the agentive implications of trans-ing for the performances of the contemporary Sinosphere, including the performances of memory. Based on the recent monograph, <em>Transnational Chinese Theatres<\/em>:\u00a0<em>Intercultural Performance Networks in East Asia<\/em> (Palgrave, 2020), this talk will introduce the notion of transnational Chinese theatres\u00a0as a practice and method of performance collaboration constituted by mobile networks of relations.\u00a0Transnational Chinese theatres present a performative inflection of notions of minor transnationalism and inter-Asian referencing\u00a0\u2013\u00a0or (trans-)Asia as\u00a0method\u00a0\u2013\u00a0which foregrounds collaboration as a generative site of counter-memory and transgressive imagination.\u00a0An overview of recent transnational networks and works originating within the East Asian Sinosphere will show how collaborative practice can mobilize multiple dimensions of the \u201ctrans-\u201d\u00a0\u2013\u00a0transmediality,\u00a0translingualism, translation,\u00a0transcoloniality\u00a0\u2013 to reconstitute\u00a0Sinophone performance cultures as platforms for transgressively reconfiguring the nation and\u00a0enabling the collective memorialization of contested national histories through transnational comparison.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rossella Ferrari is Professor of Chinese Studies in the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Vienna, Austria.
