Shakespeare into Data: Dystopian and Utopian Potentials

Research output: Conference PapersRGC 33 - Other conference paperpeer-review

Abstract

This paper investigates the utopian and dystopian potentials of Shakespeare-as-code. The paper suggests that the transformation of Shakespeare’s plays into data augurs a future of virtually disembodied textuality which, in the very act of universalizing access and democratising authorship, threatens to evacuate Shakespeare’s works of the relevance that has invited their datafication in the first place.
