Asian Embodiment of a White Canon: Shakespeare
All over the world from, San Diego
Cost: Free
Asian Embodiment of a White Canon: Shakespeare on Film/Stage – Free Lecture: Dr. Joubin is the author of the recently published book Shakespeare in East Asia (Oxford University Press, 2021), which raises such intriguing questions as: How did Kurosawa influence George Lucas’ Star Wars? Why do critics repeatedly use the adjective Shakespearean to describe Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite (2019)? How do East Asian cinema and theatre portray vocal disability and transgender figures? Dr. Joubin will illustrate through entertaining examples how Shakespeare is connected to theatre, film, and literature in East Asia.
