SHAKESPEARE AND ROME INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL (SRISS)
The Shakespeare’s Rome Project
Università degli Studi Roma Tre
Dipartimento di Lingue Letterature e Culture Straniere
The SRISS is an International Summer School dedicated to Shakespeare’s Rome, a field of research deeply rooted in Roma Tre University as “The Shakespeare’s Rome Project” (2004 – ).
The SRISS is open to both under-graduate and post-graduate students (BA, MA, PhDs, Postdocs, ESL teachers).
Within the Shakespearean corpus the image of ancient Rome works as the emblem of the classical past, a goldmine of foundational myths and the model of an authoritative culture early modern England felt compelled to look to. To Ancient Rome Shakespeare devoted five plays (Titus Andronicus, Julius Caesar, Coriolanus, Antony and Cleopatra, Cymbeline) and a narrative poem (The Rape of Lucrece): the themes and motifs of these works will be examined in depth by renowned international Shakespearean scholars and practitioners from the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Silvano Toti Globe Theatre. Participants will be provided with appropriate methodological tools which will help them to develop a specific competence on Shakespeare’s Rome within an intercultural and interdisciplinary perspective.
