ABSTRACT In their adaptations of Hamlet, the two Chinese films, The Banquet and Prince of the Himalayas, present the protagonists' dilemma from a very different light and emphasizes the role of non-action in their exploration of self-worth and the objective truth. As a popular Taoist practice, wu wei, as prince Wu Luan clearly shows, allows one to achieve integration with primordial nature. In politics, it helps one govern in the most natural and unselfconscious manner. For the Tibetan prince, Lhamoklodan, the Buddhist meditation is key to attaining the truth. This deliberate non-action helps the prince to discover his lineage and reach spiritual awakening. Neither of the films gives non-action an unqualified endorsement, however. An uncritical observance of wu wei leaves one vulnerable in the political world; for Buddhism, violence is sometimes justified, insofar as it helps a would-be wrong-doer avoid the accumulation of further negative karma.

ABSTRACTThis research examines the political nature of appropriation in Pakistan’s theatrical production Illaje-Zid-Dastiyab-Hey (2012), an Urdu adaptation of William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew (1590). During the Cultural Olympiad of 2012, the play was presented at London’s Globe Theatre under the direction of Haissam Hussain. The study investigates how the use of appropriative techniques enables the playwright to portray Pakistani identity and uphold the country’s cultural heritage. The paper argues that by contextualising and appropriating the work within the specific cultural and social milieu of Pakistan, the appropriated play strives to foster a sense of local identity and promote a deeper understanding of Pakistan among a diverse global audience. It accomplishes the above by analysing the changes in plot structure, symbol and sign display, musicalization, dance, and multimedia installations in the live performance of the Pakistani variant using Hans Theis Lehmann’s Post-dramatic theory (1960). Moreover, the study also examines how Hussain’s adaptation departs from conventional drama from a post-dramatic perspective. In addition to localising the play, this approach also enables a broader appreciation of Pakistan’s unique cultural heritage by depicting its cultural traditions and historical legacy.KEYWORDS: LahorePakistani cultureindigeneityUrdu and Pashtu languagesmusical instrumentsShakespeare’s Globe Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Buckley, ‘An Equal Partnership’, 81.2 Ibid.3 Shahid, Shakespeare Gets a Pakistani Makeover, 68.4 Hutcheon, Theory of Adaptation, 103.5 Marsden, Appropriation of Shakespeare, 1.6 Abad, ‘Appropriating Shakespeare’, 5, 8.7 Lehmann, Post Dramatic Theatre, 24, 92, 141, 81, 92, 131, 35, 131, 21, 141, 91, 62, 89, 86, 89, 85, 91.8 Bulman, The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Performance, 129, 423, 581.9 Crossley, Woods and Pinchbeck, Active Experiencing in Postdramatic, 146, 153, 159.10 Lehmann, Post Dramatic Theatre.11 Carlson, ‘Postdramatic Theatre and Postdramatic Performance’, 577–95.12 Ibid.13 Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew, 470.14 Ibid.15 Pakistan Pashtuns.16 Shakespeare in Urdu, 149, 155.17 Shamsi, BBC Urdu News.18 Sharif, ‘Literary and Linguistic Exploration’, 78–89.19 Khan, University of Mianwali.20 https://dpomwi.punjabpolice.gov.pk/district_overview21 Iqbal, Shakespeare’s Globe.22 Sharif, ‘Literary and Linguistic Exploration’.23 Lehmann, Post Dramatic Theatre.24 Mohammad Muazzam Sharif, ‘Critique On The Presence’, 4333.25 Systems, Pakistan Development Perspective.26 Sheehan, Cultures of the World.27 https://bcmcr.org/culturaltranslation/tag/homi-bhabha/28 Bhabha, ‘Postcolonial Authority and Postmodern Guilt’, 56–96.29 https://bcmcr.org/culturaltranslation/tag/homi-bhabha/30 Bhabha, ‘Postcolonial Authority and Postmodern Guilt’.31 Abad, ‘Appropriating Shakespeare’.32 Shakespeare, W.

ABSTRACTThis paper examines the surviving production evidence from the long-prepared but never staged production of King Lear from industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes and explores the evidence through the lens of Bel Geddes as regisseur. Following a brief introduction to Bel Geddes’ artistic background, it considers the evidence in light of several forces influencing the world of American theatre at the time. This paper goes on to devote considerable focus not only to the evidence specifically related to the King Lear production, including the production script and scene renderings, but also to the ongoing connection between the production and Bel Geddes’ design for ‘Theatre Six’ and its integral role in manifesting the designer’s vision for his adaptation of Shakespeare: the paradoxical use of developing technology to aid in returning the staging of Shakespeare to its Early Modern form. The paper concludes with a consideration of the manner in which his approach to Shakespeare illustrates the need to answer Bel Geddes’ plea for supporting new voices in theatre.KEYWORDS: ShakespeareKing LearNorman Bel Geddestheatrical design Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Bel Geddes, Papers, Theater Box 156, Folder j3.

This case study of the Dionysus ornament illustrates how the 1623 Shakespearean folio carries with it echoes of previous folio works as it reinterprets this image within its own context. The paper establishes the other Jaggard Press titles in which the headpiece appears to explore how these different contexts draw out the image’s semiotic potential. It notes an extreme uptick in use in Crooke’s Mikrokosmographia, an anatomical work in which urination and ejaculation feature prominently. Operating in tandem with the 1623 prefatory materials, the headpiece participates in the visual organisational logic of the Folio, structures the Folio’s establishment of generic variety, and introduces the volume-wide rhetorical strategy of reading Englishness within a global context. The woodcut’s synchronously urinating dogs also suggest a commentary on the communal bodily experience of live theatre. Having noted ways early modern printed folio projects can be mutually citational through ornaments, the paper discusses how the Shakespearean volume positions itself within the English inflection of classical single-author collected drama through the associations with Dionysus, patron god of drama, and Ben Jonson’s 1616 Workes. The conclusion considers the Second Folio’s adoption of the headpiece as part of the 1623 Folio’s iconic look.

The Folger Shakespeare Library has 82 copies of First Folios, which is more than a third of the surviving total of 235 copies in the world. The married couple Henry and Emily Folger acquired these copies between 1893 and 1928. Most of the available posthumous narratives that discuss the Folgers’ zeal for collecting First Folios concentrate primarily on Henry Clay Folger’s biography and financial backing of the couple’s book collecting project. Only secondarily, if at all, is the focus on Emily Jordan Folger’s contribution to the collection. By calling attention to her Master’s thesis ‘The True Text of Shakespeare’, completed at Vassar College in 1896, this article suggests that greater acknowledgment of Emily Jordan Folger and her role in the collaboration is not just an ethical obligation but also helps us understand the intellectual framework of the Folgers’ seemingly compulsive efforts to collect, above all, multiple copies of the First Folio. This understanding, furthermore, casts light on the Bardolatrous reverence of the First Folio as a fetishistic cultural embodiment of ‘The True Text of Shakespeare’ in late nineteenth century USA.
福尔杰莎士比亚图书馆有82本《第一对开本》,占世界上现存的235本的三分之一以上。已婚夫妇亨利和艾米丽·福尔杰在1893年至1928年间获得了这些复制品。关于福尔杰夫妇收藏《第一对开本》的热情,现有的大部分遗书主要集中在亨利·克莱·福尔杰的传记和对这对夫妇藏书项目的经济支持上。艾米莉·乔丹·福尔杰(Emily Jordan Folger)对该系列的贡献是次要的,如果有的话。通过关注她1896年在瓦萨学院完成的硕士论文《莎士比亚的真实文本》,这篇文章表明,更多地承认艾米丽·乔丹·福尔杰及其在合作中的作用不仅是一种道德义务,而且还有助于我们理解福尔杰夫妇似乎强迫性地努力收集《第一对开本》的智力框架。此外,这种理解还揭示了19世纪后期美国对《第一对开本》作为“莎士比亚真实文本”的拜物教文化体现的Bardolatrous崇敬。
