How has Derrida’s work affected, even transformed the ways in which Shakespeare is read?

What are the continuing ramifications and effects of deconstructive thinking for Shakespeare Studies?

How might the writings of Shakespeare help us to read Derrida – for example, with regard to questions of language, dramatic form, writing, voice, signature, politics and ethics, history and the present, nature, mercy, cruelty, love, desire, sexual difference, irony, shame, dignity, laughter, animals, spectrality, mourning, friendship and so on?

OLR would like to invite essay of up to around 6,000 words, on Shakespeare and Derrida.

Contributors should submit their essays to Nicholas Royle, School of English, University of Sussex, Brighton BN1 9QN, UK. You are also welcome to correspond with him, if you wish, at [email protected]
