- Inhalt
- This seminar explores late 16th- and early 17th-century depictions of male and female characters and settings from the East, a cultural and imaginative space which comprised regions from the Eastern Mediterranean and Africa to East Asia and held great fascination for early modern dramatists and theatre audiences. According to recent critical studies, early modern English representations of the East and especially of Muslims and Islamic cultures were more ambiguous and fluid than in the period of Orientalism: they were characterised by a blend of fear, admiration, desire and imperial envy. Early modern drama contains stereotypical images and characters that still influence Western perspectives on the East (especially Islam), e. g. the cruel, aggressive or voluptuous male Turk/Muslim or the seductive (and in the case of Early modern drama strikingly powerful) woman of the East. In this seminar, we will discuss if the selected dramatic texts can be said to belong to a period ‘before Orientalism’ (as some scholars have suggested), not merely in historical but also in cultural and aesthetic terms. Furthermore, we will examine how this question is approached by film and stage directors in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
