Notorious Identity: Materializing the Subject in Shakespeare.

Cloth with dustjacket. Zustand: Sehr gut. ix, 213 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). -- Slighty rubbed dustjacket, otherwise very good and clean exemplar. -- Ranging across cultural materialism, new historicism, feminist psychoanalysis, cultural anthropology, deconstruction, and theories of postmodernity, the author practices a "theory without organs" - which she provocatively calls a constructive "New Hystericism" - retheorizing the discourses of reigning methodologies as much as those in Shakespeare's plays. Addressing a postmodern culture that fetishizes names and celebrity, the author moves from the notoriety of Richard III to that of Willie Horton, from Troilus and Cressida to Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill, from Antony and Cleopatra to the manufacturing of Shakespeare's own "notorious identity" in mass culture and contemporary politics, unmasking in Shakespeare's notorious figures the symptoms of an early modern commodification of the powerful desire that we now know is the desire for signification itself.
