<p>For Shakespeare and Shakespearean adaptation, the global digital media environment is a “brave new world” of opportunity and revolution. In <em>OuterSpeares: Shakespeare, Intermedia, and the Limits of Adaptation</em>, noted scholars of Shakespeare and new media consider the ways in which various media affect how we understand Shakespeare and his works.</p><p>Daniel Fischlin and his collaborators explore a wide selection of adaptations that occupy the space between and across traditional genres – what artist Dick Higgins calls “intermedia” – ranging from adaptations that use social networking, cloud computing, and mobile devices to the many handicrafts branded and sold in connection with the Bard.</p><p>With essays on YouTube and iTunes, as well as radio, television, and film, <em>OuterSpeares</em> is the first book to examine the full spectrum of past and present adaptations, and one that offers a unique perspective on the transcultural and transdisciplinary aspects of Shakespeare in the contemporary world.</p>
