International Conference:

Shakespeare

in Transformation

In an era where the world is rapidly being transformed by post-pandemic dynamics and groundbreaking technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence and platforms like ChatGPT, the ways in which we read, teach, study, and perform Shakespeare is constantly challenged and moved forward. The Taiwan Shakespeare Association invites papers from scholars, students, and theatre practitioners to reflect on the enduring legacy of Shakespeare in this context of unprecedented digital evolution. Our 2024 conference, “Shakespeare in Transformation,” aims to delve into how these technological advancements are reshaping the ways we interact with, interpret, and disseminate the works of Shakespeare.

“Shakespeare in Transformation” seeks to explore the myriad ways in which William Shakespeare’s works continue to resonate, adapt, and transform in the face of changing cultural, technological, and social landscapes. We encourage submissions that examine the transitions of Shakespeare’s works across time, cultures, media, and academic disciplines.
