Such features are at odds with the traditional model of adaptation, which focuses on expanding and explaining the source. Inspired by Derrida’s deconstruction, this book introduces a new interpretative paradigm. Central to this paradigm is the idea that an act of adaptation consists in foregrounding gaps and incoherencies in the source; it is about questioning rather than clarifying. The book explores this paradigm through seven representative European adaptations of \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e produced between the 1960s and the 2010s: dramatic texts, live theatre productions, and a mixed reality performance. They systematically challenge the post-Romantic idea of \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e as a tragedy of great passions and heroic deeds. What does this say about \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e’s impact on post-war theatre and culture? The deconstructive analyses offered in this book show how adaptations of \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e capture crucial anxieties and concerns of post-war Europe, such as political disillusionment, postmodern scepticism, and feminist resistance, revealing exciting connections between European traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-10-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030968083\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-96806-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 237\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46547931398284,"sku":"9783030968083","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030968083.jpg?v=1772932948","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030968083","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
