Looking sideways across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans to nontraditional centres of Shakespeare practice, \u003ci\u003eShakespeare in the Global South\u003c\/i\u003e explores the solidarities generated by contemporary adaptations and their stories of displacement and survival. The book takes its lead from innovative theatre practice in Mauritius, North India, Brazil, post-apartheid South Africa and the diasporic urban spaces of the global North, to assess the lessons for cultural theory emerging from the new works. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using the 'global South' as a critical frame, Sandra Young reflects on the vocabulary scholars have found productive in grappling with the impact of the new iterations of Shakespeare's work, through terms such as 'creolization', 'indigenization', 'localization', 'Africanization' and 'diaspora'. Shakespeare's presence in the global South invites us to go beyond familiar orthodoxies and to recognize the surprising affinities felt across oceans of difference in time and space that allow Shakespeare's inventiveness to be a part of the enchanting subversions at play in contemporary theatre's global currents.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSandra Young \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of English Literary Studies at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.She is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Early Modern Global South in Print: Textual Form and the Production of Human Difference as Knowledge. \u003c\/i\u003eHer research interests include Early modern literature and thought and Shakespeare in the Global South.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 7.81 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 26, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51790233698592,"sku":"9781350197503","price":84.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/b8f79ac963ab0162b2a3c06988b71eb9.webp?v=1780672388","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/shakespeare-in-the-global-south-stories-of-oceans-crossed-in-contemporary-adaptation-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
