Performing Transversally Reimagining Shakespeare And The Critical Future

Performing Transversally Expands On Bryan Reynolds' Controversial Transversal Theory In Exciting Ways While Offering Groundbreaking Analyses Of Shakespeares Plays - Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, Taming Of The Shrew, Titus Andronicus, Henry V, The Tempest, And Coriolanus - And Textual, Filmic, And Theatrical Adaptations Of Them. With His Collaborators, Reynolds Challenges Traditional Readings Of Shakespeare, Re-evaluating The Critical Methodologies That Characterize Them, In Regard To Issues Of Cultural Difference, Authorship, Representation, Agency, And Iconography. Reynolds Demonstrates The Value Of His 'investigative-expansive Mode,' Outlining A 'transversal Poetics' That Points Toward A Critical Future That Is More Aware Of Its Subjective Interconnectedness With The Topics And Audiences It Seeks To Engage Than Is Reflected In Most Shakespeare Criticism And Literary-cultural Scholarship.
