This book approaches the central question of the abusive denial of territory from various angles: linguistic, legal and ethical, physical and psychological. Various strategies of resistance are explored: illegal return, which takes the form of a frontal counterattack employing a ‘war machine’; ruse and the experience of internal(ised) exile; and mental escape, which nonetheless may lead to madness, exhaustion or heartbreak.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part I: The dynamic of deterritorialisation in \u003ci\u003eKing Richard II\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCoriolanus\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Swearing allegiance or questioning power \u003cbr\u003e2 Abuse of power and banishment: from ‘\u003ci\u003eeffet de retour\u003c\/i\u003e’ to unnaturalness\u003cbr\u003e3 The talion effect: deterritorialisation for deterritorialisaion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part II: The dynamic of riposte in \u003ci\u003eKing Richard II\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCoriolanus\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4 The politics of illegal return\u003cbr\u003e5 The necessity of the ‘war machine’\u003cbr\u003e6 Alternatives to the ‘war machine’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part III: The experience of internal(ised) exile in \u003ci\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7 Dissembling and avoiding banishment\u003cbr\u003e8 Assuming otherness, or the spiral of degradation\u003cbr\u003e9 Home as a foreign elsewhere\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part IV: The dialectic of endurance and exhaustion in \u003ci\u003eKing Richard II \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10 Mental spaces and types of interiority\u003cbr\u003e11 The limits of endurance and the signs of exhaustion\u003cbr\u003e12 Maps of emotions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041008550231,"sku":"9781526144041","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/shakespeare-and-the-denial-of-territory-banishment-abuse-of-power-and-strategies-of-resistance-9781526144041","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
