2023年1月26日， 金正日F. 大厅, Lucyle Hook Professor of English 和 Professor of Africana studies, will publish a chapter in the new book White People in Shakespeare: Essays on Race, Culture 和 the Elite. In chapter 12, “Can You Be White 和 Hear This? The Racial Art of Listening in 美国摩尔人 和 苔丝狄蒙娜,” Professor 大厅 explores how we can hear 和 interpret Shakespearean texts differently to push back against the Bard’s work being treated as “white property.”
To illustrate the position of Blackness amid admiration of Shakespeare as white property, she focuses on Keith Hamilton Cobb’s play 美国摩尔人. Professor 大厅 also invokes Nobel Prize laureate Toni Morrison’s play 苔丝狄蒙娜, an extension of female voices in Shakespeare’s 《十大电竞游戏综合排名》. She examines how Shakespeare’s work has historically been used to define 和 support a white cultural 和 racial identity by showcasing how both these plays highlight the “missed readings 和 over-readings” in Shakespeare that resist U.S. theatrical venues being viewed as primarily “white” spaces, where “black sound” is discouraged.
