About the website:
The research at the basis of this website builds on the SSHRC funded project “Translating Culture for the Stage; the Case of Luigi Pirandello” developed by professors Segnini and Fulginiti.
- Target:
- Scholars interested in exploring, researching and teaching this play and the issues of translation and identities within theatre and Pirandello;
- Artists, scholars and theatre practitioners interested in producing new translations/ adaptions for diverse cultural and linguistic contexts
- Function:
- To serve as research and pedagogical tool for the negotiation of identity in a transnational framework;
- To foreground how cultural specificity is adapted and re-negotiated for a variety of audiences
- What emerges:
- The geographical, temporal and cultural extent of Pirandello’s theatrical influence;
- The creative refractions that identity undergoes in the process of translation across national and temporal boundaries;
- How translation affects questions of gender and power.
