Call for Essays
/Shakespeare Bulletin/ - Special Issue
Shakespearean Screen Adaptations for the Teen Market
/Shakespeare Bulletin/, a journal of performance criticism
and scholarship incorporating the /Shakespeare on Film Newsletter/,
announces a special issue devoted to Shakespearean Screen Adaptations
for the Teen Market. Essays should address questions concerning the
transformation of Shakespeare's plays from their textual incarnations to
cinematic and video renderings designed for teenage audiences. Subjects
that might be addressed in such essays include:
The definition of a Shakespearean teen film
adaptation
Recent trends in Shakespearean films aimed at
teenagers
The differences between a teen film version, an
adaptation, and a spinoff
The effects of teen film conventions on
Shakespearean film adaptations
The language of Shakespearean film adaptations
intended for the teen market
Shakespearean teen film adaptations and the DVD
as a viewing medium
Shakespearean adaptations designed for teen TV
audiences
Strategies for marketing Shakespearean film adaptations to teenage viewers
The social and historical context of
Shakespearean film adaptations for teens
The use of Shakespearean film adaptations in the high school or college
classroom
Essays may explore these subjects in a theoretical manner, or they may
focus attention on one or more films (such as /Romeo + Juliet/, /10
Things I Hate about You/, or /She's the Man/) that illuminate some
aspect of these issues. Documentation of sources in such essays should
conform to the most recent edition of the /MLA Style Manual/.
Contributions should be sent in electronic form (Word format) by
December 15, 2006 to the issue's special editor, Michael Friedman, at
[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
