Content

This course focuses on the ways in which Shakespeare features in contemporary culture. Besides reading and discussing Shakespeare’s original work, we acquaint ourselves with contemporary representations of Shakespeare’s production against the backdrop of Renaissance society, culture, values and theatrical traditions. Besides an original text by Shakespeare, we study for example film, music, graphic novels, fan fiction, digital appropriations, the new Finnish Shakespeare translations and pay attention to Shakespeare’s language.
