    Abstract:
    Gender roles in Shakespeare’s plays take on new meanings when they are embodied by Asian actors. Learning more about Asian approaches to performance not only enriches our worldview but also makes Asian cultures less abstract and Asian people more relatable as fellow human beings. Reflecting the idea that strength and empowerment can take many forms, these performances counter the racialized myths about Asian women that have led to the fetishization of Asian women as subservient and dainty objects. The fetish makes Asian women interchangeable. :::::: https://blog.oup.com/2021/07/adapting-shakespeare-shattering-stereotypes-of-asian-women-onstage-and-onscreen/
    Notes:
    Drawing on Alexa Alice Joubin’s new book, Shakespeare and East Asia (Oxford University Press, 2021), this essay shows how we can counter the racialized myths about Asian women by attending to the idea that strength and empowerment can take many forms.
