Drawing on debates around the global/local dimensions of
cultural production, an international team of contributors explore
the appropriation of Shakespearea (TM)s plays in film and
performance around the world.
In particular, the book examines the ways in which adapters and
directors have put Shakespeare into dialogue with local traditions
and contexts. The contributors look in turn at a ~locala (TM)
Shakespeares for local, national and international audiences,
covering a range of English and foreign appropriations that
challenge geographical and cultural oppositions between a ~centrea
(TM) and a ~peripherya (TM), and a ~big-timea (TM) and a
~small-timea (TM) Shakespeares.
Responding to a surge of critical interest in the poetics and
politics of appropriation, World-Wide Shakespeares is a valuable
resource for those interested in the afterlife of Shakespeare in
film and performance globally.
