Many contemporary engagements with Shakespeare's works operate at the intersection between translation and adaptation and do not fit easily into either category. This collection brings together the fields of adaptation studies and translation studies--both of which have been central to discussions of Shakespeare's afterlives--to explore the value of tradaptation as a hybrid critical framework. Coined by Michel Garneau to describe the versions of Shakespeare's works that he created at the height of the Québec nationalist movement, the term tradaptation is especially relevant to contexts in which language debates are fraught and bound up with national, colonial, and racial politics. This book thus emphasizes the political dimensions of this artistic phenomenon, situating it within ongoing conversations about the complex roles that Shakespeare continues to play within decolonial movements and struggles for linguistic justice.
