Bake restudy 1984
Description
A one-hour video narrated by Nazir Jairazbhoy and Amy Catlin. The authors return in 1984 to the original sites of Arnold Bake's 1938 South Indian fieldwork in order to solicit responses to his photographs and audio recordings of numerous performance traditions in an examination of continuity and change. The video incorporates Bake's 16mm films and audio recordings. It also shows the background of this Dutch scholar, the methodologies used in both field trips, and concludes with an examination of the impact of classification, modernization, institutionalization, and festivalization of performance.
