Shakespeare's Anti-Politics

"Shakespeare's Anti-Politics" by D. Gil offers an in-depth analysis of the political dimensions in Shakespeare's works. The book argues that Shakespeare adopts an anti-political stance by questioning the nature of the nation-state and revealing an unexpected form of resistance against it. Through a critical examination of sovereign power, it explores how new forms of identity and interpersonal relationships can emerge that exist beyond the boundaries of the nation-state. These new experiences are referred to as 'the life of the flesh' and invite readers to think beyond traditional political structures. The work is not only a literary analysis but also a contribution to the discussion of identity and community in the modern world.
