Description

Shakespeare's legendary figures are often seen as iconic characters, but Linda Charnes argues that they were also used to explore a new kind of fame - notorious identity. This concept is based on the commodification of identity itself, which was relevant in early modern England's emergent capitalism. Charnes rethinks various methodologies, including cultural materialism, new historicism, feminist psychoanalysis, and deconstruction, to better understand Shakespeare's plays. Her approach, called "New Hystericism," is a provocative attempt to retheorize the discourses of reigning methodologies. By examining Shakespeare's works through this lens, Charnes sheds new light on the playwright's exploration of identity and its relationship to power and culture in early modern England.
