Zusammenfassung:	Redefines the ways in which performance studies and appropriation theory can be used to approach ShakespeareRedefines the ways in which performance studies and appropriation theory can be used to approach ShakespeareDemonstrates how subjective uses of Shakespeare in performance and appropriation are mirrored in scholarship practices that make visible political or cultural choicesEngages a wide range of media and performance venues, including theatrical performance, film, television, music, and digital performance/social mediaStudies Shakespearean performances and appropriations that originate from regional, national, and international contextsBrings together established and emerging scholars who specialise in subfields such as premodern critical race studies, gender and sexuality studies, queer theory, performance studies, adaptation/appropriation studies, and fan studiesBringing together the discrete fields of appropriation and performance studies, this collection explores pivotal intersections between the two approaches to consider the ethical implications of decisions made when artists and scholars appropriate Shakespeare. The essays in this book, written by established and emerging scholars in subfields such as premodern critical race studies, gender and sexuality studies, queer theory, performance studies, adaptation/appropriation studies and fan studies, demonstrate how remaking the plays across time, cultures, or media, changes the nature both of what Shakespeare promises and the expectations of those promised Shakespeare. Using examples such as rap music, popular television, theatre history and twentieth-century poetry, this collection argues that understanding Shakespeare at different intersections between performance and appropriation requires continuously negotiating what is signified through Shakespeare to the communities that use him
