(email: vice-president@deutsch-britische-nuernberg.de)
In Kooperation mit / In cooperation with
Akademie Caritas-Pirckheimer-Haus
The talk (brought to us via Zoom) will examine the interesting phenomenon that Shakespeare went viral during the pandemic and brought lovers of the Bard closer together.
Pascale Aebischer, who grew up in Bern, read English and French Literature at the University of Bern. During that time she also studied for a Postgraduate Diploma in Performing Arts at the London Academy of Performing Arts, and staging plays has been a part of her career ever since. Her academic career took her to Oxford, where she studied for her DPhil, Cambridge and Leicester; since 2004, she has been teaching at the University of Exeter.
Before 2020, her research was mostly situated at the intersection between the early modern playtext and theatrical culture on the one hand and present-day performance on the other, with a particular focus on bodies, gender, race, violence, ethics, media, or spectatorship – or all of these together.
Between March 2021 and February 2023, Pascale Aebischer led The Pandemic and Beyond: the Arts and Humanities Contribution to Covid Research and Recovery project. This work was rewarded with an MBE for “services to economic and societal resilience during COVID-19”.
Her most recent two books are also concerned with how digital technologies have transformed how we watch Shakespeare (Shakespeare, Spectatorship and the Technologies of Performance (CUP, April 2020; winner of the David Bradby Monograph Prize 2021), Viral Shakespeare: Performance in the Time of Pandemic (CUP, 2021)). More information can be found on the University of Exeter’s website.
