Objetivos

The dominant perspective of the programme involves the use of the concepts of ambiguity and representation in the study of three very different plays from the Shakespearean canon: Henry V, Twelfth Night and Othello. The purpose is both to discuss the very problematic reality of dramatic genres in the playwright’s work – in this case, the English historical play, comedy and tragedy – and to inquire into the way these texts written for the stage have been historically subjected to such a wide variety of multiple and contradictory interpretations, that is, the continuous negotiation of the apparently endless meanings they seem capable to generate. These three plays will be studied in search for the identification of the dramatic strategies that enable them to so ingenuously and ambiguously represent major issues like government, war, love, sex, class, and race. To better illustrate some of these very ambiguous strategies of representation, special consideration will be given not only to the stage history of each of these plays, but also to their more modern adaptation into film.
The core of the programme will be preceded by an introductory moment concentrating on historical, literary and theoretical issues.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

The nature of the course will demand, especially during the first classes, that the teacher conveys a set of coordinates and problems regarded as important for the prosecution of the study. However, and given the textual basis of the course, it will be indispensable to rely on the regular and active participation of students, both orally and through written assignments, which will find its necessary expression in the final evaluation.
