Kabuki's Nineteenth Century examines the theater culture of nineteenth-century Japan from the perspective of the history and materiality of the book, the nature of reception, and the making and making use of images. The aim of this book is to rediscover the kabuki theater of nineteenth-century Japan by shifting our critical focus from performance to print and the public sphere, and thus embedding theater history within the larger world of printed matter by means of which theatricality circulated beyond the stage and through which performance was most often consumed.Fundamental to Kabuki's Nineteenth Century is a reconsideration of the nature of the printed archive itself. The book argues that the archive of printed material related to the theater in nineteenth-century Japan (playbills, actor critiques, theater guides, maps, actor prints, calendars, and broadsheets) is something more than—and more complicated than—a set of materials out of which we might reconstitute the always transient event of performance. Rather, the archive constitutes an object of inquiry unto itself, an object that reveals as much about the interrelations between and among various printed media and genres circulating beyond the confines of the theater as it does about what happened on stage. Even as we use these materials to examine the history of performance, a series of different questions might be asked: what can the production, consumption, and collecting of this enormous body of printed matter tell us about such problems as the role of print in everyday life, the construction of specialized knowledges, and the manner in which a culture archives itself?

Le kabuki est l'une des plus anciennes formes du théâtre traditionnel japonais. Apparu au début de l'époque d'Edo, cet art dramatique, toujours très vivant, se fonde sur un répertoire de pièces codifiées, écrites spécifiquement ou bien adaptées du théâtre nô. de récits traditionnels, et surtout du bunraku, théâtre de marionnettes. Ces représentations sont exclusivement jouées par des acteurs masculins, dont les fameux onnagata spécialisés dans les rôles de femmes, auxquels les spectateurs japonais vouent un véritable culte. Les costumes, extravagants dans leur conception, somptueux dans le choix des motifs et des tissus, et richement colorés, occupent une place centrale. Ils répondent à une symbolique très précise, révélatrice de la personnalité du rôle. Présentant les plus beaux costumes de kabuki accompagnés de leurs accessoires, illustré d'estampes anciennes et de photos d'acteurs, cet ouvrage rend hommage à cet art dramatique qui élève le théâtre et la danse à leur plus haut niveau. Il a été publié à l'occasion de l'exposition Kabuki – Costumes du théâtre japonais, présentée à la Fondation Pierre Bergé - Yves Saint Laurent.
