About the Author
Yuiko Asaba is a scholar and writer whose work examines music, performance, and cultural exchange across geographical and intellectual boundaries. Her research considers how artistic practices complicate conventional ideas about national identity, modernity, and the global circulation of culture. In Tango in Japan: Cosmopolitanism beyond the West (Music and Performing Arts of Asia and the Pacific), Asaba offers a focused exploration of tango’s Japanese context while opening broader questions about cosmopolitanism beyond familiar Western frameworks. Her writing invites readers to see performance as a dynamic site of translation, encounter, and cultural transformation.
