商品描述
Adopting a cultural materialist reading in the post-colonial context of Hong Kong, this book examines post-1997 Hong Kong Shakespeare that comments on the identity of the city through staging sinicized, aestheticized and socio-politicised versions of the plays. The introduction contextualizes Hong Kong's position on the current intellectual map of Asian Shakespeare, arguing that Hong Kong Shakespeare has quite distinctive characteristics compared with those in mainland China and Taiwan. The book highlights six Shakespearean adaptations in Hong Kong staged after 1997, which include Richard Ho's Hamlet: Sword of Vengeance, Tang Shu-wing's Titus Andronicus 2.0 and Macbeth, Hardy Tsoi's Julius Caesar and Shamshuipo Lear, and Jimmy Lee's Post-The Taming of the Shrew. Sandwiched between the colonial and the postcolonial, Hong Kong Shakespeare generates an independent narrative through struggle and cultural negotiation.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書在香港的後殖民背景下採用文化物質主義的解讀,探討1997年後的香港莎士比亞作品,這些作品通過上演中國化、美學化和社會政治化的劇本,評論了這座城市的身份。導言將香港在當前亞洲莎士比亞的知識地圖上的位置進行了背景說明,並指出香港莎士比亞與中國大陸和台灣的作品相比,具有相當獨特的特徵。本書重點介紹了1997年後在香港上演的六部莎士比亞改編作品,包括Richard Ho的《哈姆雷特:復仇之劍》、Tang Shu-wing的《提圖斯·安德羅尼克斯 2.0》和《麥克白》、Hardy Tsoi的《尤利烏斯·凱撒》和《深水埗李爾王》,以及Jimmy Lee的《後來的馴悍記》。在殖民與後殖民之間,香港莎士比亞通過掙扎和文化協商產生了獨立的敘事。
