    Sujata Iyengar deposited From War Crimes to ‘Truce Thinking’ in Shakespeare’s Henry V in the group Group logo of CLCS Renaissance and Early ModernCLCS Renaissance and Early Modern on MLA Commons 2 weeks, 5 days ago

    Shakespeare’s Henry V (1600) concludes with a treaty between England and France, enabled through the marriage of King Henry and Princess Katherine, the compromises of France and Burgundy, Queen Isabella’s advocacy and even Henry’s own willingness to let his delegates speak on his behalf. Although the final scene dramatizes the historical treat…[Read more]

    The metatheatricality of A Midsummer Night’s Dream has invited recent directors to tell particular kinds of socially progressive stories. This article uses the notion of “social reparation” to theorize remedial uses of Shakespeare in adaptations that give artists and audiences more moral agency. By imagining more inclusive local habitations and s…[Read more]

    The rise of global Shakespeare as an industry and cultural practice—the incorporation of Shakespearean performance in cultural diplomacy and in the cultural marketplace—is aided by digital tools of dissemination and digital forms of artistic expression. Shakespeare has evolved from a cultural nomad in the past centuries—a body of works with no pe…[Read more]

Clifford Werier and Paul Budra, pp. 332-344 in the group Group logo of CLCS Renaissance and Early ModernCLCS Renaissance and Early Modern on MLA Commons 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    The screen as an interface immerses audiences in an alternate universe. As a result, that interface seems transparent. Through analyses of performances that call attention to filmic genres, such as Edgar Wright’s parody film, Hot Fuzz (2007), and the Wooster Group’s multimedia production, Hamlet (2007), as well as (meta)theatrical operations on…[Read more]

    Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear, three of the most frequently adapted tragedies, have inspired incredible work in the Sinophone theatres of Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China for over two centuries as political theatre, comedic parody, Chinese opera, and avant-garde theatre. Gender roles in the plays take on new meanings when they are e…[Read more]

    Abstract in English :::

    Shakespeare adaptations share an intimate relation with global studies, because Shakespeare – as a cultural institution – registers a broad spectrum of practices that generate productive dialogues with world cultures.

    Even though Shakespeare’s plays were initially performed by all-male casts, they were designed to appeal to diverse audiences. Many modern adaptations reimagine those plays as expressions of gender nonconformity. Over the past decades, prominent films and theater works have fostered new public conversations about the politics of appropriating g…[Read more]

    For the past twenty years, scholars of world and global history and literature have shown that the early modern world was a complex, entangled place.
