Appropriations of Irish Drama in Modern Korean Nationalist Theatre

This book investigates the translation field as a hybrid space for the competing claims between the colonisers and the colonised.

By tracing the process of the importation and appropriation of Irish drama in colonial Korea, this study shows how the intervention of the competing agents - both the colonisers and the colonised - formulates the strategies of representation or empowerment in the rival claims of the translation field.

This exploration will be of great interest to students and scholars of theatre and performance studies, translation studies, and Asian studies.
