Shakespeare and Space Summary

Shakespeare and Space: Theatrical Explorations of the Spatial Paradigm by Ina Habermann

This collection offers an overview of the ways in which space has become relevant to the study of Shakespearean drama and theatre. It distinguishes various facets of space, such as structural aspects of dramatic composition, performance space and the evocation of place, linguistic, social and gendered spaces, early modern geographies, and the impact of theatrical mobility on cultural exchange and the material world. These facets of space are exemplified in individual essays. Throughout, the Shakespearean stage is conceived as a topological node, or interface between different times, places and people an approach which also invokes Edward Sojas notion of Thirdspace to describe the blend between the real and the imaginary characteristic of Shakespeares multifaceted theatrical world. Part Two of the volume emphasises the theatrical mobility of Hamlet conceptually from an anthropological perspective, and historically in the tragedys migrations to Germany, Russia and NorthAmerica.
