  • Descrição: Shakespeare and Indian Cinemas: “Local Habitations,” edited by Poonam Trivedi and Paromita Chakravarti, successfully broadens conversations in Shakespearean studies to include not only the ways that Shakespeare has affected Indian society through colonial influences, but also the ways that Indian culture and norms have modified Shakespeare to make him a transnational citizen of India. Any scholar interested in delving into the expansive world of Indian cinematic adaptations of Shakespeare would benefit from reading this text, as would anyone who is interested in research that considers how Shakespeare studies will grow and develop in a postmodern, postcolonial, and diverse global world. Because the text considers not just how Shakespeare has influenced India, but also how regional/local Indian filmmakers have found their own voices strengthened through Shakespearean translation, adaptation, and appropriation, much of the research in the book can be further investigated by scholars across literature, film, and postcolonial studies. The fourth section of essays includes four essays: “Gendered Play and Regional Dialogue in Nanjundi Kalyana” by Mark Thornton Burnett, which investigates an Indian adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew; “Not the Play but the Playing: Citation of Performing Shakespeare as a Trope in Tamil Cinema” by A. Mangai, which explores how Shakespeare evolved from a literary figure to film adaptation in Tamil cinema; “Indianising The Comedy of Errors: Bhranti Bilash and Its Aftermaths” by Amrita Sen, which discusses multiple different adaptations of the same Shakespearean play across different Indian languages and locations; and, “Regional Reflections: Shakespeare in Assamese Cinema” by Parthajit Baruah, which studies the influence of British colonial rule in Assam, the development of alternative cinema in Assam, and the use of Shakespeare to discuss political themes.
