CHINOPERL: Journal of Chinese Oral and Performing Literature, formerly CHINOPERL Papers and CHINOPERL News, is a peer-reviewed [3] American academic journal dedicated to the study of Chinese performing arts like quyi and xiqu ( Chinese opera). It is the only western-language journal devoted to this field. [4]
The acronym CHINOPERL for Chinese Oral and Performing Literature was coined by Yuen Ren Chao. [5]
The CHINOPERL (Chinese Oral and Performing Literature) organization was founded in 1969 by a group of sinologists which included Yuen Ren Chao and his daughter Rulan Chao Pian, Nicholas Bodman, Milena Dolezelova, and Wolfram Eberhard, during a meeting at Cornell University. [5] Its official publication was initially a newsletter titled CHINOPERL News. In 1976 it became a journal titled CHINOPERL Papers, and in 2013 it was renamed CHINOPERL: Journal of Chinese Oral and Performing Literature when it first published under Maney Publishing. (Maney was purchased by Taylor & Francis in 2016. [3]) In 2020, the University of Hawaiʻi Press began to publish this journal. [4]
