Paperback. Etat : New. 'She felt like a bird in a cage with the door open. Was she going to fly out?' Alice, like the other women in Meiling Jin's stories, is at a point of change: Li li is pregnant, alone and frightened at the 'School for Perfect Secretaries'; Gladys plots revenge against her racist neighbour; Margret, taking a trip back home to Malaysia, doesn't know if she can tell her mother that she is a lesbian; Hazel is not sure if her future lies with Sandra and 'a loving which scared her'. Whether her scene is London, China, California, Malaysia or the Caribbean, whether writing with unwavering and painful realism, wicked humour or lyrical imagination, Meiling Jin takes us inside the lives and experiences of her characters in ways which cannot but involve the reader. Each has a journey to make, each their song to sing. Female or male, lesbian or straight, black or white, all are in some part boatwomen.Meiling Jin was born in Guyana in 1963, she now lives in London. She is the author of Gifts from My Grandmother, a collection of poetry published by Sheba, and stories for children. She is also a playwright and film maker.…

Paperback. Etat : Fine. 1st. xxxiv, 407 pages, illustrations; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. *** "Performance art and Los Angeles, two subjects spectacularly resistant to definitions, illuminate each other in this searching study by Meiling Cheng. A marginal artistic pursuit by choice as well as necessity, performance art has flourished in and about 'multicentric' Los Angeles for nearly four decades, finding its own centers of activity, moving and changing as the margins have reconstituted themselves. The notion of multicentricity serves, somewhat paradoxically, as the unifying motif in Cheng's imaginative views of center and periphery, self and other, and 'mainstream' and 'marginal' cultures. She analyzes individual artists and performances in detail, bringing her own 'center' gracefully and unmistakably into contact with all those others. Without suggesting that her approach is definitive, she offers a way of thinking and talking coherently about particularly elusive, ephemeral artwork. Cheng describes performance art as 'an intermedia visual art form that uses theatrical elements in presentation.' Performance art, which uses the living body as its central medium, occurs only 'here' and only 'now.' Because it is intentionally volatile, highly adaptable, and often site-specific, with emphasis on audience interaction, context is inseparable from the work itself. When Cheng writes about Suzanne Lacy or Tim Miller, Johanna Went or Oguri and Renzoku, Sacred Naked Nature Girls or osseus labyrint, she is conscious of her role in extending their creative expression. As members of the 'virtual audience,' readers and viewers of other documentation concerning performance art are arrayed outside the center represented by a given artist and the circle represented by the immediate witnesses to a performance, but all may entertain what Cheng calls a conceptual ownership of the work. A person who reads about a performance, she says, may feel more affected by this virtual encounter than a person who has seen it live, and may reimagine it as a 'prosthetic performance.' Cheng's writing draws us into the many centers where a vibrant contemporary art phenomenon and a fascinating urban environment interact. / Meiling Cheng is Associate Professor and Director of Critical Studies at School of Theatre, University of Southern California." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Illustrations; Preface; Acknowledgments; 1: Inscribing Multicentricity: Performing Other Los Angeleses; 2: Out of Order: Reading, Writing, Performing (in) L.A.; 3: Engendering Other/Selves: Suzanne Lacy; 4: Elia Arce: A Skin Test and a Tongue Transplant; 5: A Hetero-locus in Process: Self Performances at Highways; 6: What's in a Name?: Marking Sacred Naked Nature Girls; 7: Kinesthetic Transmutation of Theatricality: Consuming Art Performances; Epilogue; Notes; Index.
