History

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]
