[headline]Redefines the ways in which performance studies and appropriation theory can be used to approach Shakespeare Bringing together the discrete fields of appropriation and performance studies, this collection explores pivotal intersections between the two approaches to consider the ethical implications of decisions made when artists and scholars appropriate Shakespeare. The essays in this book, written by established and emerging scholars in subfields such as premodern critical race studies, gender and sexuality studies, queer theory, performance studies, adaptation/appropriation studies and fan studies, demonstrate how remaking the plays across time, cultures or media changes the nature both of what Shakespeare promises and the expectations of those promised Shakespeare. Using examples such as rap music, popular television, theatre history and twentieth-century poetry, this collection argues that understanding Shakespeare at different intersections between performance and appropriation requires continuously negotiating what is signified through Shakespeare to the communities that use and consume him. [bios]Louise Geddes is Professor of English at Adelphi University, USA. Kathryn Vomero Santos is Assistant Professor of English and co-director of the Humanities Collective at Trinity University, USA. Geoffrey Way is the Manager of Publishing Futures for the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and ACMRS Press, where he serves as the Managing Editor for The Sundial and Borrowers and Lenders.
