Relatrice dell'intervento "Tagging the Bard. Shakespeare & Graffiti"

The paper explores how and why “Shakespeare graffiti” has become an important cultural phenomenon and fathoms a possible new methodology to approach the study of Shakespeare. Many traces of Shakespeare have been disseminated in the graffiti world and, conversely, the grammar and language of graffiti have often been used by theatre, cinema and visual art to update Shakespeare. It is a field of investigation which can give meaningful contributions to Shakespeare studies. Indeed graffiti quoting Shakespeare’s lines have been proliferating all over the world and they seem to respond to the need for a transnational look while sustaining traditional values.
