L. AustinTheatre has a remarkable capacity: it touches from a distance. The audience is affected, despite their physical separation from the stage. The spectators are moved, even though the fictional world presented to them will never come into direct touch with their real lives. Shakespeare is clearly one of the master practitioners of theatrical touch. As the study shows, his exceptional dramaturgic talent is intrinsically connected with being one of the great thinkers of touch. His plays fathom the complexity and power of a fascinating notion - touch as a productive proximity that is characterised by unbridgeable distance - which philosophers like Friedrich Nietzsche, Maurice Blanchot, Jacques Derrida, Luce Irigaray and Jean-Luc Nancy have written about, centuries later. By playing with touch and its metatheatrical implications, Shakespeare raises questions that make his theatrical art point towards modernity: how are communities to form when traditional institutions begin to crumble? What happens to selfhood when time speeds up, when oneness and timeless truth can no longer serve as reliable foundations? What is the role and the capacity of language in a world that has lost its seemingly unshakeable belief and trust in meaning? How are we to conceive of the unthinkable extremes of human existence - birth and death - when the religious orthodoxy slowly ceases to give satisfactory explanations? Shakespeare's theatre not only prompts these questions, but provides us with answers. They are all related to touch, and they are all theatrical at their core: they are argued and performed by the striking experience of theatre's capacities to touch - at a distance. 410 0$aEdinburgh Critical Studies in Shakespeare and Philosophy Series 606 $aLiterature: history & criticism$2bicssc 610 $aLiterary Criticism 610 $aEuropean 610 $aEnglish, Irish, Scottish, Welsh 615 7$aLiterature: history & criticism 676 $a822.33 700 $aUngelenk$b Johannes , $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01178390 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910745598203321 996 $aTouching at a Distance$93006348 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02124nas 2200505-- 450 001 9910895627103321 005 20240919213020.0 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2851371-X 035 $a(CKB)110978977970320 035 $a(CONSER)---06040166- 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110978977970320 100 $a20750727a18589999 --- a 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aArchaeologia cantiana 210 $a[London]$cKent Archaeological Society 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aSubtitle varies: Vol. 1-60 "Being transactions of the Kent Archaeological Society"; v. 61- "Being contributions to the history and archaeology of Kent." 300 $aDVD-Rom issued by the Society in 2007: "Kent Archaeological Society Sesquicentennial, 1857-2007"; containing: Archaeologia Cantiana, volumes I to CXXV; Testamenta Cantiana, by Leland L.
