“This England”: Re-Visiting Shakespearean Landscapes and Mediascapes in John Akomfrah’s The Nine Muses (2010)
2017
The paper will offer a reading of John Akomfrah’s The Nine Muses (2010), a 90-minute experimental feature film that has been defined as “one of the most vital and original artistic responses to the subject of immigration that British cinema has ever produced” (Mitchell). It will focus on the multifarious ways in which the film makes the “canonical” literary material that it incorporates, including Shakespeare, interact with rarely seen archival material from the BBC regarding the experience of Caribbean and South Asian immigrants in 1950s and 1960s Britain. It will argue that through this interaction the familiarity of Western “canonical” literature re-presents itself as an uncanny landscap…
L’Effet Hamlet: une dégénérescence transformationnelle?
2022
Max a enfermé Tom dans la cave does not specify whether Tom was in the cellar before being locked up or not. This article shows how this semantic indeterminacy, highlighted and called Effet Hamlet by Jean-Paul Boons in the late seventies, should perhaps be considered a fall-out of syn- tactic transformational processes.
Vindicating Pablo Avecilla’s Spanish ‘Imitation’ of Hamlet (1856)
2012
This essay examines Pablo Avecilla’s Hamlet, an ‘imitation’ of Shakespeare’s tragedy of the prince of Denmark published in 1856, both in its own terms and in the historical context of its publication. This Shakespearean adaptation has been negatively judged as preposterous and unworthy of comment, but it deserves to be approached as what it claimed to be, a free handling of the Shakespearean model, and as responding to its own cultural moment. Avecilla turns the Shakespearean sacrificial prince into a righteous sovereign that has kept the love of a lower-ranked lady and, by pursuing revenge, has successfully overthrown a dishonourable and corrupt ruler. This re-focusing of the Shakespearean…

Il teatro dell’ardore e del disincanto: l’eredità di Amleto
2023
“The play’s the thing,” says Hamlet, “wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king”. The intent is to show the spectators to the twisted labyrinth of truth, the one however that cannot be openly declared without tragically risking your own life. The actors’ play, as it is conceived by Hamlet, becomes the tool for trap the king of Denmark, Claudius, who had killed his brother Hamlet and usurped the young princess Hamlet’s throne. It was the enchantment felt in whatching an actor play that convinced Hamlet he could have managed to get his revenge thanks to a skilled comedian who’s art is to tell the truth with the inventio! Hamlet's reception in European culture has firmly enlightened an “ha…

Theatrum Mundi and site in four television Shakespeare films
2019
This article explores metatheatricality and site specificity in four Shakespeare television films produced by Illuminations Media: Gregory Doran’s Macbeth (2001), Hamlet (2009) and Julius Caesar (2012), and Rupert Goold’s Macbeth (2010). Drawing on metatheatrical theory applied to the screen and recent criticism on site-specific theatre, I explore the films as self-referential and self-conscious works embedded in environments that oppose the artifice of drama to the ‘reality’ of normative television film. Shakespeare’s aesthetic metaphor, presented in self-contained theatrical worlds, does not depict autonomous fictions but is disrupted by outside ‘reality’.
Shakespeare’s Hamlet in Twentieth-century Spanish Poetry
2015
This article investigates the presence of Shakespeare’s Hamlet in the poetic production of a selection of twentieth-century Spanish poets, among them, Miguel de Unamuno, Antonio and Manuel Machado, Juan Ramon Jimenez, Federico Garcia Lorca, Leon Felipe, Vicente Aleixandre, Jose Hierro, Blas de Otero, Juan Eduardo Cirlot, Clara Janes and Maria Victoria Atencia. It will be seen how these different poets appropriate Hamlet in their own manner, focusing on dissimilar episodes, concepts and characters to elaborate on their personal reflections on life and death, love, poetry and human nature. Such varied poetic reinterpretations of Shakespeare’s tragedy illustrate not only the multiple poetic po…

There's A Ghost In Every Mirror: The Identity of the Ghost In Hamlet
2009
Tutkielmassani käsittelen William Shakespearean näytelmän Hamlet keskeisen hahmon, Haamun, identiteettiä katolisessa ja protestanttisessa teologiassa eriävän kiirastuliopin kautta avautuvana ristiriitana. Tulkitsen Haamun hahmoa perinteistä skeptisemmästä näkökulmasta, jonka pohjalta pyrin löytämään tekstistä viitteitä siihen, että Haamun identiteetti ei missään vaiheessa ole suoraan johdettavissa siihen perinteiseen tulkintaan, jonka mukaan se olisi Hamletin isä. Pyrin valottamaan jo 1500-luvun lopulla Englannissa vaikuttaneen protestanttisen maailmankuvan valossa teoksen kuvauksia Haamun alkuperästä sekä analysoimaan, millä tavalla sen kanssa tekemisissä olevat henkilöhahmot siihen reago…
