Abstract
The understanding of femininity in postmodernism allows for new approaches in the theater of Shakespeare.
Cinematography has offered two examples: in 1996 with Baz Luhrmann’s version of Romeo and Juliet
(Romeo+Juliet) and in 2005 with the BBC series, ShakespeaRE-Told, The Taming of the Shrew, directed by David
Richards. Both movies mix femininity with the will to power, but in a system informed by humor, kitsch and
carnival. The conflict between sexes and families becomes an opportunity to assemble a satirical show.
Shakespeare maintains his position of a transcultural author, above and beyond every fashion. |
