The introduction to this collection of multimedia essays
on Maqbool and The Banquet argues that close examination of the films through
a truly global array of appropriative strategies and cultural contexts can
help combat the tendency to report on rather than analyze non-Western works
and thus can also prevent Asian films from being seen as merely exotic and
disconnected from Shakespeare scholarship. Especially valuable for
Shakespeareans are the ways in which the two films refashion Hamlet,
Gertrude, Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, and other characters to shed new light on
the visceral and political experiences enabled by these Shakespearean
tragedies.
