Spectral Shakespeares
Media Adaptations in the Twenty-First Century
AvM. Calbi
Inbunden, Engelska, 2013
628 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Spectral Shakespeares is an illuminating exploration of recent, experimental adaptations of Shakespeare on film, TV, and the web. Drawing on adaptation studies and media theory as well as Jacques Derrida's work, this book argues that these adaptations foreground a cluster of self-reflexive "themes" - from incorporation to reiteration, from migration to addiction, from silence to survival - that contribute to the redefinition of adaptation, and Shakespearean adaptation in particular, as an unfinished and interminable process. The "Shakespeare" that emerges from these adaptations is a fragmentary, mediatized, and heterogeneous presence, a spectral Shakespeare that leaves a mark on our contemporary mediascape.

Reenacting Shakespeare in the Shakespeare Aftermath
The Intermedial Turn and Turn to Embodiment
AvThomas Cartelli
Inbunden, Engelska, 2019
1 123 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
In the Shakespeare aftermath—where all things Shakespearean are available for reassembly and reenactment—experimental transactions with Shakespeare become consequential events in their own right, informed by technologies of performance and display that defy conventional staging and filmic practices. Reenactment signifies here both an undoing and a redoing, above all a doing differently of what otherwise continues to be enacted as the same. Rooted in the modernist avant-garde, this revisionary approach to models of the past is advanced by theater artists and filmmakers whose number includes Romeo Castellucci, Annie Dorsen, Peter Greenaway, Thomas Ostermeier, Ivo van Hove, and New York’s Wooster Group, among others. Although the intermedial turn taken by such artists heralds a virtual future, this book demonstrates that embodiment—in more diverse forms than ever before—continues to exert expressive force in Shakespearean reproduction’s turning world.

Local and Global Myths in Shakespearean Performance
AvAneta Mancewicz,Alexa Alice Joubin
Häftad, Engelska, 2019
1 011 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This collection of scholarly essays offers a new understanding of local and global myths that have been constructed around Shakespeare in theatre, cinema, and television from the nineteenth century to the present. Drawing on a definition of myth as a powerful ideological narrative, Local and Global Myths in Shakespearean Performance examines historical, political, and cultural conditions of Shakespearean performances in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. The first part of this volume offers a theoretical introduction to Shakespeare as myth from a twenty-first century perspective. The second part critically evaluates myths of linguistic transcendence, authenticity, and universality within broader European, neo-liberal, and post-colonial contexts. The study of local identities and global icons in the third part uncovers dynamic relationships between regional, national, and transnational myths of Shakespeare. The fourth part revises persistent narratives concerning a political potential of Shakespeare’s plays in communist and post-communist countries. Finally, part five explores the influence of commercial and popular culture on Shakespeare myths. Michael Dobson’s Afterword concludes the volume by locating Shakespeare within classical mythology and contemporary concerns.

Non-Adaptations and Their Meaning
AvEric S. Mallin
Inbunden, Engelska, 2019
1 070 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Reading Shakespeare in the Movies: Non-Adaptations and Their Meaning analyzes the unacknowledged, covert presence of Shakespearean themes, structures, characters, and symbolism in selected films. Writers and directors who forge an unconscious, unintentional connection to Shakespeare’s work create non-adaptations, cinema that is unexpectedly similar to certain Shakespeare plays while remaining independent as art. These films can illuminate core semantic issues in those plays in ways that direct adaptations cannot. Eric S. Mallin explores how Shakespeare illuminates these movies, analyzing the ways that The Godfather, Memento, Titanic, Birdman, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre take on new life in dialogue with the famous playwright. In addition to challenging our ideas about adaptation, Mallin works to inspire new awareness of the meanings of Shakespearean stories in the contemporary world.

Shakespeare’s Serial Returns in Complex TV
AvChristina Wald
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
1 188 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book examines how Shakespeare’s plays resurface in current complex TV series. Its four case studies bring together The Tempest and the science fiction-Western Westworld, King Lear and the satirical dynastic drama of Succession, Hamlet and the legal thriller Black Earth Rising, as well as Coriolanus and the political thriller Homeland. The comparative readings ask what new insights the twenty-first-century remediations may grant us into Shakespeare’s texts and, vice versa, how Shakespearean returns help us understand topical concerns negotiated in the series, such as artificial intelligence, the safeguarding of democracy, terrorism, and postcolonial justice. This study also proposes that the dramaturgical seriality typical of complex TV allows insights into the seriality Shakespeare employed in structuring his plays. Discussing a broad spectrum of adaptational constellations and establishing key characteristics of the new adaptational aggregate of serial Shakespeare, it seeks to initiate a dialogue between Shakespeare studies, adaptation studies, and TV studies.

Young Latinx Shakespeares
Race, Justice, and Literary Appropriation
AvJesus Montaño
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024
1 306 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book delves into the aesthetics and processes by which Latinx writers and creatives artfully adapt and appropriate Shakespeare for young readers. Shakespeare, this book demonstrates, is reimagined with social justice in mind, yielding literary mestizadas (the critical term employed to highlight the palimpsestic nature of these admixtures). These literary mestizadas not only create representational mirrors in which Latinx young readers can better see themselves and their lived cultural experiences but also offer them the opportunity to contest the social injustices that impact them and their communities. In this, the book provides the critical framework for understanding how Latinx young adult appropriations of Shakespeare offer young readers educational ecologies in which to thoughtfully engage with issues of race, gender, and sexuality. By focusing on this productive literary interplay between Shakespeare and Latinx youth literatures, this book directs us to the generative and transformative potentials that unfold from these hybridized texts. Understanding Shakespeare and Latinx, not in their separate spheres but in the way they blend together to create new, important literary formulations embraces these brave(r) new worlds in which Latinx youth are affirmed and empowered.

Shakespeare and Antiblack World-Making
AvMatthieu Chapman
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book is about Shakespeare’s role in sustaining the antiblack paradigm of modernity. This work re-reads both Shakespearean texts and performances from the 16th century to the present to argue that American and English societies have deployed Shakespeare for four hundred years as a mechanism to construct and reinforce paradigmatic antiblackness. Framed within the author’s experiences as a Black scholar, actor, and director of Shakespeare and using both contemporary Critical Race Theory (CRT), as well as Pre-Modern Critical Race Studies (PCRS), this book uses civil society’s engagement with and performance of Shakespeare in various times and places to reveal the continuum of antiblackness that predates chattel slavery in America and contributes to antiblack world-making across oceans and centuries.
Revenge is Mad Hard
Fat Ham and the Question of Cultural Reclamation
AvValerie Clayman Pye,Danielle Rosvally

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
In April of 2021, a small theatre in Philadelphia took a big risk: The Wilma premiered a new play called Fat Ham by a then-almost-unknown playwright, James Ijames. Fat Ham reconfigures the story of Hamlet through the lens of a family barbeque in the American South. In Ijames’ play, Shakespeare’s protagonist becomes a fat, queer, Black man named Juicy. Juicy’s mother has just married his uncle in the wake of his father’s murder and Juicy himself is still dealing with grief about these events and the generational trauma they amplify as he strives for some thread of hope. The play made big waves; Ijames won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and it was nominated for five Tony awards in 2023.Fat Ham represents a major intervention in the ways we discuss storytelling, adaptation, and canon as it reclaims a major piece of cultural capital for several intersections of marginalized voices. This collection of essay offers perspectives on the play’s early life as well as creates a major theoretical framework for future discussions of Fat Ham in scholarship.The essay featured in Revenge is Mad Hard: Fat Ham and the Question of Cultural Reclamation address the intersecting themes of Adaptation, Performance, Identity, and Southerness. Each of these sections work to more fully specify and develop the themes of Fat Ham in the greater sphere of literary and performance studies.
Adapting The Tempest
Explorations in Ecophenomenology
AvElizabeth D. Gruber
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 542 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Adapting The Tempest: Explorations in Ecophenomenology examines five female-authored novelizations of The Tempest, showing how they engage the play in a spirit of transgressive dialogism. A major through-line linking each chapter is the articulation of an updated self, one that encompasses the biological and the psychological. Philosopher Thomas Metzinger’s lucid theorization of selfhood seeds this study’s approach. A dedicated materialist, Metzinger nonetheless addresses the interiorizing that defines humanness. This book extends Metzinger’s theories by arguing for ecophenomenology, which harmonizes awareness of humans’ embedment in the world with the storytelling and reflective consciousness that define our species. Re-reading The Tempest in tandem with the five novels demonstrates the benefits of an ecophenomenological approach to selfhood.
Shakespeare in European Cinema
Thresholds, Borders, Connections
AvInmaculada N. Sánchez-García
Inbunden, Engelska, 2027
1 857 kr
Kommande
This book examines Shakespeare’s afterlives in European cinema. It offers a series of comparative studies analysing Shakespeare films in light of common myths perceived to constitute European identity. With the Second World War as a starting point, the book focuses on how Shakespeare is mobilized in films that address the moments in recent European history when those myths came under most intense scrutiny: the Holocaust, the sexual revolution, the post-Fordist transition to a consumerist society, the fragmentation of the Yugoslav Federation, the European debt crisis, and the contemporary increase in xenophobic attitudes giving rise to the resurgence of the far right.From forgotten adaptations such as Jiří Weiss’s Romeo, Juliet and Darkness, to canonical films like Ingmar Bergman’s Persona, the book examines European filmic Shakespeare as a transnational and intermedial category by considering not just adaptations but also films that allude to, reference or evoke the playwright. As such, it constitutes the first sustained critical account of Shakespeare’s place in European cinema.
Henry James and the Example of Shakespeare
‘The Heir of Invention’
AvPeter Collister
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 600 kr
Kommande
The figure of Shakespeare—indeed, the idea of Shakespeare—is regularly invoked in the writing of Henry James, filled as it is with echoes and quotations from the plays. In Henry James and the Example of Shakespeare: The Heir of Invention the playwright emerges in James’s characterization (fictional and critical) as an exemplary observer of complex humanity, a practitioner of scenic and dramatic form and a national figure prone to public curiosity. While the biographical Shakespeare remains necessarily obscure, his plays proved accessible, their protagonists, themes and scenic forms offering James enduring models of performance and narrative. Demonstrating his distinctive critical voice, the novelist proves himself committed to the plays as texts as well as vehicles for performance. Aside from his unassailable status as artist for James, Shakespeare also marked his introduction—a form of initiation—into the complexity of European heritage. In his appreciation of less traditional Victorian performance practices (illustrated, for instance, in the visits of Italian actors), James showed unusual flexibility in engaging with both European and American cultural traditions.

Critical and Creative Appropriations in a Networked Culture
AvValerie M. Fazel,Louise Geddes
Inbunden, Engelska, 2017
1 306 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This innovative collection explores uses of Shakespeare in a wide variety of 21st century contexts, including business manuals, non-literary scholarship, database aggregation, social media, gaming, and creative criticism. Essays in this volume demonstrate that users’ critical and creative uses of the dramatist’s works position contemporary issues of race, power, identity, and authority in new networks that redefine Shakespeare and reconceptualize the ways in which he is processed in both scholarly and popular culture. While The Shakespeare User contributes to the burgeoning corpus of critical works on digital and Internet Shakespeares, this volume looks beyond the study of Shakespeare artifacts to the system of use and users that constitute the Shakespeare network. This reticular understanding of Shakespeare use expands scholarly forays into non-academic practices, digital discourse communities, and creative critical works manifest via YouTube, Twitter, blogs, databases, websites, and popular fiction.
