"Post-Hamlet: Shakespeare in an Era of Textual Exhaustion" examines
how postmodern audiences continue to reengage with Hamlet in spite
of our culture's oversaturation with this most canonical of texts.
Combining adaptation theory and performance theory with
examinations of avant-garde performances and other unconventional
appropriations of Shakespeare's play, Post-Hamlet examines
Shakespeare's Hamlet as a central symbol of our era's "textual
exhaustion," an era in which the reader/viewer is bombarded by
text-printed, digital, and otherwise. The essays in this edited
collection, divided into four sections, focus on the radical
employment of Hamlet as a cultural artifact that adaptors and
readers use to depart from textual "authority" in, for instance,
radical English-language performance, international film and stage
performance, pop-culture and multi-media appropriation, and
pedagogy.
