News and Recent Activities

The CfP for the 33rd Annual CDE Conference on New Stages for Sex, Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary Theatre is online.

Ms. Leila Vaziri has won the "CDE Biennial Award for the best new monograph study in the field of contemporary theatre and drama in English"  for her dissertation! Congratulations!

Dr. Bailey Sincox: "'What men daily do': Consent in Much Ado About Nothing"

As part of Professor Wald's Research and Exam Colloquium, Dr. Bailey Sincox (Princeton) will present a paper on "'What man daily do': Consent in Much Ado About Nothing" on the 4th of June, 11.45-13.15 in G 421.

Abstract: 
Building upon past feminist approaches to Much Ado, in this paper I frame its Claudio and Hero plot in terms of consent. My main point is that the play’s operative term for consent is “goodwill,” a word that, like “consent,” conflates affective and legal discourses. I argue that early scenes establish the expectation that Hero’s goodwill must be “got” for a marriage to proceed. Because Hero’s consent to Pedro is reported rather than staged––and because Pedro is exchanged for Claudio––this moment parallels the notorious window scene in which Claudio reports that he has seen Hero exchange her betrothed for Borachio. Via these parallel scenes––and in contrast to the Beatrice and Benedick plot––I argue that Much Ado exposes “goodwill” predicated on a logic of exchange to be an unstable, patriarchal fiction. In so doing, I argue, the play dramatizes the limits of coercion.

Dr. Aneta Mancewicz (Royal Holloway, London): Extended Reality
Shakespeare


31 January 2024, 10-11.30 a.m., room H 307

At the invitation of the research initiative and core topic of the
Centre of Cultural Inquiry, "Transforming Infrastructure: Cultural
Perspectives", Dr. Aneta Mancewicz (Royal Holloway, London) will speak
about her research project and forthcoming publication Extended Reality
Shakespeare
 as part of a seminar on "Resetting Shakespeare". Anyone
interested is cordially invited!

Extended reality is an innovative force that changes our understanding
of theatre and Shakespeare. Drawing on Shakespeare’s Tempest and A
Midsummer Night's Dream
, this talk discusses the creative convergences
between Shakespeare’s dramaturgy and digital technology. It explores how
the inclusion of augmented and virtual realities in performance can
reconfigure the senses of the experiencers, enabling them to actively
engage with technology. Such engagements can, in turn, result in new
forms of presence, embodiment, eventfulness, and interaction. Given
Shakespeare’s emphasis on metatheatre, his works can inspire the
layering of environments, as well as the experiences of transition
between the environments – both features that distinguish extended
reality in performance and its infrastructures.

As part of the seminar "Resetting Shakespeare", Dr. Erin Sullivan (Shakespeare Institute, Stratford-upon-Avon) will speak about

Research Projects

  • Traveling Forms
    As member of the NOMIS Research Group "Traveling Forms" I am working on forms of resistance in postcolonial tragedy.
    I am currently co-editing a collection on "Tragedy as a Travelling Form" with Philipp Lammers and Juliane Vogel, and the research group has just conducted an international workshop on "Traveling Forms: Practices, Politics, Potentialities".

  • Shakespeare and Seriality
    A large part of my research activities in recent years has focused on how Shakespeare's plays recur in complex TV, how they offer a formal repertoire, plots and characters that are productive for the negotiation of current concerns such as postcolonial justice, the potentials and threats of Artificial Intelligence, the state of democracy in late capitalism, the ecological challenge of global warming, the future of feminism, etc.

    I am currently co-editing a collection with Elisabeth Bronfen on "Shakespeare and Seriality: Page, Stage, Screen".

    Past publications is this field include:

    "Shakespeare in The Wilds: Experimenting with The Tempest." Adaptation 15.2 (2022): 264-284. KOPS, PDF, Publisher
