Abstract
Abstract: On the one hand, Hamlet resists a propositional and objectified approach to meaning and draws us toward shared and rooted historical contexts of saying and appearing. On the other hand, the inherent reproducibility of early modern drama frustrates Hamlet's capacity to belong to history in a meaningful way. Historical time in Hamlet is therefore out of joint, and this time is at the root of the play's tragic promise and frustration.
期刊介绍:
Cultural Critique provides a forum for international and interdisciplinary explorations of intellectual controversies, trends, and issues in culture, theory, and politics. Emphasizing critique rather than criticism, the journal draws on the diverse and conflictual approaches of Marxism, feminism, psychoanalysis, semiotics, political economy, and hermeneutics to offer readings in society and its transformation.
