Description

Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1,0, Technical University of Braunschweig (Englisches Seminar), 129 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: This thesis adds an extended approach to the aspect of ‘Other’ Shakespeares with the Māori film adaptation of Te Tangata Whai Rawa o Weniti – The Maori Merchant of Venice as a new form of a local as well as global Shakespearean appropriation.

Through this transculturality it is argued that the screen version overcomes the binary notion of Self/Other as ‘Western’ and ‘Indigenous’ culture are interwoven into one equal network. The thesis draws on a variety of theories and methodologies. It is embedded in the concepts of postcolonial theory developed by Edward Said and Homi Bhabha and the central theme of hybrid productions in postcolonialism, but it also consults new historicism, cultural studies and film theory. These theories and concepts are not only viewed from a Western perspective but are combined with Pacific and Māori cultural and film theory.

Therefore, it is essential to connect Western with ‘Indigenous’ perspectives to acquire a balanced outcome...
