| Course Title: Performing the Self: Shakespeare and Identity |
| Start Date: 08/30/2021 End Date: 12/13/2021 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2021 |
| Description: Best known as one of the literary canon's pillars, Shakespeare has also provided multiple templates for artists and storytellers who wish to challenge traditional concepts of literature, theatre, and history. Our class will explore four of Shakespeare's plays through the lens of identity, both those forms extant in Shakespeare's own time and those articulated in various contemporary adaptations, both stage and screen. In particular, we will focus on BIPOC, postcolonial, and LGBTQ adaptations. |
