Shakespearean Charity and the Perils of Redemptive Performance

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This Element examines recent documentaries depicting marginalized youth who are ostensibly redeemed by their encounters with Shakespeare. These films emerge in response to four historical and discursive developments: the rise of reality television and its emphasis on the emotional transformation of the private individual; the concomitant rise of neoliberalism and emotional capitalism, which employ therapeutic discourses to individualize social inequality; the privatization of public education and the rise of so-called 'no-excuses' or 'new paternalist' charter schools; and the emergence of new modes of address infusing evangelical conversion narratives with a therapeutic self-help ethos.
