Produktbeschreibung

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.
