  • - Sovereign Power and the Life of the Flesh
    af D. Gil
    536,95 - 542,95 kr.

    Argues that Shakespeare is anti-political, dissecting the nature of the nation-state and charting a surprising form of resistance to it, using sovereign power against itself to engineer new forms of selfhood and relationality that escape the orbit of the nation-state. It is these new experiences that the book terms 'the life of the flesh'.

  • af Grant Williams
    1.614,95 kr.

    This is the first book to view Shakespeare¿s plays from the prospect of the premodern death arts, not only the ars moriendi tradition but also the plurality of cultural expressions of memento mori, funeral rituals, commemorative activities, and rhetorical techniques and strategies fundamental to the performance of the work of dying, death, and the dead. The volume is divided into two sections: first, critically nuanced examinations of Shakespeare¿s corpus and then, second, of Hamlet exclusively as the ultimate proving ground of the death arts in practice. This book revitalizes discussion around key and enduring themes of mortality by reframing Shakespeare¿s plays within a newly conceptualized historical category that posits a cultural divide¿at once epistemological and phenomenological¿between premodernity and the Enlightenment.
