Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation › peer-review

Abstract

This seminar examines the ideological utility of Shakespearean cameos–citations, slant references, and quotations—within film and television, focusing attention on the ways such Shakespearean cameos define national identities and human belonging. In the charged contexts of New Nationalism’s rise in liberal democracies and a backlash against the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion, this seminar situates Shakespearean cameos on film and/or television within these geopolitical power flows.
