Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The joke has been well rehearsed: if William Shakespeare were alive and well and living in Los Angeles today, he would be earning his living as a Hollywood script-writer/director.
From the early days of cinema, Shakespeare's plays have constituted an interesting playground for filmmakers. The 1990s, in particular, witnessed a strong revival of Shakespeare adaptations for the big screen. In fact, we find ourselves in a hitherto unparalleled phase of creative engagements with Shakespeare which extends to all fields of popular culture (Bardolatry, Bardbiz, textual poachers).

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Requirements for credit: written final test.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

It is the aim of this lecture course to provide an introduction to the Shakespeare canon via a survey of the major adaptations (re-workings, transformations) of his plays for the big screen. Thus, we will look at, and compare, the work of famous directors and their styles (Lawrence Olivier, Orson Welles, Peter Brook, Franco Zeffirelli, Kenneth Branagh, Baz Luhrmann etc.), at the same time familiarising ourselves with some of the major plays or - at least - those plays that have evinced great potential in the history of cinema (e.g. The Tempest, Hamlet, Henry V, Richard III, Romeo and Juliet). This survey will be rounded off by an inspection of 'Shakespeare' as a (pop-)cultural icon.

Prüfungsstoff

Lecture course; classroom discourse will be supplemented by visual aids (ppt, excerpts from documentary and feature films).

Literatur

Students would do well to study the plays mentioned (in any edition).
Additional material will be provided on an e-learning platform. Therefore, students are asked to familiarise themselves in advance with the Fronter platform; for introduction and self-guided tour, please see https://www.univie.ac.at/ZID/elearning-infos-studierende/
