The Arden Research Handbook of Shakespeare and Social Justice is a
wide-ranging, authoritative guide to research on Shakespeare and
issues of social justice and arts activism by an international team
of leading scholars, directors, arts activists, and educators.
Across four sections it explores the relevance and responsibility
of art to the real world ? to the significant teaching and
learning, performance and practice, theory and economies that not
only expand the discussion of literature and theatre, but also open
the gates of engagement between the life of the mind and lived
experience. The collection draws from noted scholars, writers and
practitioners from around the globe to assert the power of art to
question, disrupt and re-invigorate both the ties that bind and the
barriers that divide us. A series of interviews with theatre
practitioners and scholars opens the volume, establishing an
initial portfolio of areas for research, exploration, and change.
In Section 2 'The Practice of Shakespeare and Social Justice'
contributors examine Shakespeare's place and possibilities in
intervening on issues of race, class, gender and sexuality. Section
3 'The Performance of Shakespeare and Social Justice' traces
Shakespeare and social justice in multiple global contexts;
engaging productions grounded in the politics of Mexico, India,
South Africa, China and aspects of Asian politics broadly, this
section illuminates the burgeoning field of global production while
keeping as a priority the political structures that make advocacy
and resistance possible. The last section on 'Economies of
Shakespeare' describes socio-economic and community issues that
come to light in Shakespeare, and their potential to catalyse
ongoing discussion and change in respect to wealth, distribution,
equity, and humanity. An annotated bibliography provides further
guidance to those researching the subject.
