Abstract

"The Ethical Implications of Shakespeare in Performance and Appropriation" is a collection of essays that explores the ethics of appropriating Shakespeare's works from various thought-provoking perspectives. The volume engages with the relationship between appropriation and ethics, drawing on premodern critical race studies to provide updated insights. The essays cover a wide range of topics, such as misquotations in poetry, rap artists confronting Othello, and the negotiation of Black performers with Shakespeare's works. The collection challenges the distinction between production and appropriation, emphasizing the role of reception in interpreting Shakespearean material within different cultural contexts.
