Shakespeare / Skin offers a comprehensive array of readings of
'skin' in Shakespeare's works, a term that embraces the human and
animal, noun and verb. Deliberate in its reimagining of critical
and theoretical categories such as queer theory, animal studies and
indigenous studies, to name a few, Shakespeare / Skin intervenes in
various areas of the field to offer a wide range of methodological
approaches grounded in antiracist practice. Each of the chapters
interrogates and centres 'skin' in relation to a specific area of
expertise: performance studies, eco-criticism, aesthetics, animal
studies, religious studies, queer theory, indigenous studies,
digital humanities, history, food studies, affect theory, border
studies, trans studies, disability studies, Black feminism, disease
studies, or pedagogy and together they offer a panoramic reading of
skin in Shakespeare's work. With contributors from the USA, UK,
South Africa, India, Singapore and Australia, readings are informed
by a wide array of histories and shed light on how skin was
understood in Shakespeare's time and at key moments during the past
400 years in different media and cultures. For researchers and
instructors, Shakespeare / Skin offers an encyclopedic range of
readings that will help to shape teaching and inform research
through its modelling of antiracist critical practice.
