Our Glocal Shakespeare: Intercultural Encounters with The Bard
Istanbul Bilgi University English Language and Literature Department and “Turkish Shakespeares Project”
19-20 April 2024
Venue: santralistanbul Campus, Energy Museum Seminar Hall
As Graham Holderness addresses in The Shakespeare Myth, “Shakespeare is, here, now, always, what is currently being made of him” or borrowing Gary Taylor’s term, “Shakesperotics”, which broadly refers to the body of studies “embracing everything that a society does in the name- variously spelled-of Shakespeare.”, the contemporary academic dialogue with Shakespeare inevitably addresses the context of “plural Shakespeares”, as Terence Hawkes had introduced to Shakespeare scholarship.
The more we bring our local contexts into our receptions of Shakespeare, the more we reinforce his globally canonical status. On the other hand, it is the global Shakespeare which enables any potential of such local transfers.
Given the exciting context of the 460th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth in April 2024, this timely conference will allow academics from all over the world to share the ongoing enthusiasm on Shakespeare’s work.
