I'Renaissance Shakespeare / Shakespeare Renaissance’

9th World Shakespeare Congress in Prague

The International Shakespeare Association

July 17-22, 2011

The Ninth World Shakespeare Congress in Prague will mark the next phase in a journey through four continents. Beginning in Vancouver, this international conference has travelled every five years since 1971 to share Shakespearian scholarship, performance, and pedagogy at another great site: Washington D.C., Stratford-upon-Avon, Berlin, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Valencia and Brisbane. The culturally rich city of Prague, a new setting for the Congress in central Europe, offers a wonderful opportunity to engage in dialogue about Shakespearian reception both here and throughout the world.

The location of the Congress in Prague, where Shakespeare’s plays were most probably performed during his lifetime, provides the opportunity to approach Shakespeare’s theatre in the context of cultural and political relations between Elizabethan and Jacobean England and Central Europe under the Habsburg Emperor Rudolph II and later on the eve of the Thirty
Years’ War. Delegates will be able to trace the steps of Dr. John Dee, Edward Kelley, Edmund Campion, and Elizabeth Weston as they tour the Baroque theatres and Rosenberg castles of South Bohemia.

The Congress theme ‘Renaissance Shakespeare / Shakespeare Renaissances’ speaks to current debates about ‘Shakespeare as Cultural Catalyst’ and ‘Global Shakespeare’.

The deadline for registration in a seminar or workshop is March 15, 2010.
