Shakespeare - Cut Rethinking Cutwork In An Age Of Distraction

In Distracted Times Like The Present, Shakespeare Too Has Been Driven To Distraction. Shakespeare - Cut Considers Contemporary Practices Of Cutting Up Shakespeare In Stage Productions, Videogames, Book Sculptures, And Youtube Postings, But It Also Takes The Long View Of How Shakespeares Texts Have Been Cut Apart In Creative Ways Beginning In Shakespeares Own Time. The Books Five Chapters Consider Cuts, Cutting, And Cutwork From A Variety Of Angles: (1) As Bodily Experiences, (2) As Essential Parts Of The Process Whereby Shakespeare And His Contemporaries Crafted Scripts, (3) As Units In Perception, (4) As Technologies Situated At The Interface Between Figure And Life, And (5) As A Fetish In Western Culture Since 1900.
