Shakespeare and the Denial of Territory : Banishment, Abuse of Power and Strategies of Resistance

By Pascale Drouet

This book examines three Shakespeare plays in which abusive banishment participates in a dialectics of deterritorialisation and reterritorialisation (King Richard II, King Lear and Coriolanus). It draws on analyses by French philosophers (notably Deleuze and Foucault), so as to understand strategies of resistance when one is denied one's territory.
