This collection explores the consequences of accentism-an
under-researched issue that intersects with racism and classism-in
the Shakespeare industry across languages and cultures, past and
present. It adopts a transmedia and transhistorical approach to a
subject that has been dominated by the study of "Original
Pronunciation." Yet the OP project avoids linguistically "foreign"
characters such as Othello because of the additional complications
their "aberrant" speech poses to the reconstruction process. It
also evades discussion of contemporary, global practices and,
underpinning the enterprise, is the search for an aural "purity"
that arguably never existed. By contrast, this collection attends
to foreign speech patterns in both the early modern and post-modern
periods, including Indian, East Asian, and South African, and
explores how accents operate as "metasigns" reinforcing
ethno-racial stereotypes and social hierarchies. It embraces new
methodologies, which includes reorienting attention away from the
visual and onto the aural dimensions of performance.
