Performing Transversally: Reimagining Shakespeare and the Critical Future Hardcover - 2003
by Bryan Reynolds
From the jacket flap
""Performing Transversally" is an innovative example of collaborative scholarship aimed at opening the classic Shakespearean text to unexpected interpretive contexts and possibilities. Whether exploring the sado-masochistic dynamics of Othello or bringing Shakespeare and Dario Fo into productive dialogue, Reynolds and his collaborators use Shakespeare to explore uncharted emotional and cognitive landscapes.... "Performing Transversally" offers a highly-caffeinated alternative to conventional criticism."--Jean E. Howard, William E. Ransford Professor of English, Columbia University
"In "Performing Transversally," Reynolds takes his collaborators and us on a dazzling, even mind-altering trip through what Reynolds calls 'Shakespace, ' offering us trenchant sociohistorical readings both of Shakespeare's plays and adaptations of them by Dryden, Polanski, Brecht, Cesaire, Wilson, Fo, and Taymor. Reynolds powerfully reaffirms the agency of the subject and offers hope for theoretical intervention as a viable form of political activism conceived quite daringly here as the transcendence of all conceptual, emotional, social, and physical limits."--Richard Burt, author of "Unspeakable ShaXXXspeares"" "
"Transferring models of collaborative authorship from theatre and performance to academic discourse, "Performing Transversally" productively sets out to re-imagine a critical terrain for Shakespeare in which text and critic are in constant movement, where dispersals, expansions, variabilities, metamorphoses, reconfigurations, alternatives, and contradictions rule. Offering multivocal, processual accounts of how such conversations and negotiations invite links between fields of discourse, Reynolds and co-performers are master jugglers, keeping multiple texts, objects, ideas and ideologies simultaneously in view."--Barbara Hodgdon, University of Michigan "In "Performing Transversally," Bryan Reynolds and a group of collaborators challenge critical orthodoxy by venturing into 'transversal territory' and into the overlapping realm of 'Shakespace.'. . . Because it insists that 'transversality' is the liberating, responsibility-conferring space where we can begin to understand and empathize with other people and other cultures, and because it insistently characterizes Shakespearean performance as 'transversal, ' the book amounts to an important and marvelously high-spirited contribution to the turn toward ethics in literary and cultural studies."--Paul Yachnin, Tomlinson Professor of Shakespeare Studies, McGill University
