Assembling Shakespeare's Life in Warwickshire Spaces, in Partnership with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and the Shakespeare Institute

在我们试图见到莎士比亚的地方，不断变化的物体、文字和图像的组合是如何重塑他的生活的？这个项目是在与莎士比亚诞生地信托基金的研究主管保罗·埃德蒙森博士讨论后开发的，专注于莎士比亚传记创作中被忽视的亚流派。我的研究集中在未被充分研究的SBT档案和资产，包括SBT自己的人，我的研究包括“页外”的生活写作，采用了朱莉·桑德斯的观点，例如，莎士比亚的行走可以被视为更广泛的莎士比亚传记写作领域的一部分。该项目适用于更广泛的文化生产的页外生活写作。它的基础是与SBT确认的合作伙伴关系，提供对埃文河畔斯特拉特福德未开发档案的无与伦比的访问，同时允许我在SBT、埃文河畔斯特拉特福德和沃里克郡的物理精心策划的空间中锚定理论。我的项目将把空间理论(例如亨利·勒菲布雷，吉勒斯·德勒兹)应用到关键地点，并将提供一个基于曼努埃尔·德兰达的集合论的原创理论框架，以探究莎士比亚生活的新迭代是如何继续出现的。埃德蒙森博士和我的莎士比亚学院首席导师劳塔里斯博士都是莎士比亚传记作家，拥有丰富的研究、写作和策划早期现代生活和物质文化的经验。我的二级导师迈克尔·多布森教授在莎士比亚文化制作领域拥有丰富的专业知识。在这个特别合格的监督团队的带领下，我将研究莎士比亚故事是如何构建的主要资料来源：策划展览的记录及其原因(只要它们是可以检索的)；对五个莎士比亚故居的艺术反应；指南、日记、指导剧本和行程；以及显示自19世纪50年代以来莎士比亚故居的内部和花园的外观和演变的记录。我将采访过去和现在的导游、策展人和传记作者，以创建一个重要的资源：SBT的第一个口述历史档案。SBT和伯明翰大学将提供我所需的口述历史培训。

At sites where we seek to encounter Shakespeare, how do changing assemblages of objects, words and images reformulate his life? This project, developed in discussion with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust's Head of Research, Dr Paul Edmondson, focuses on overlooked sub-genres of Shakespearean biographymaking.Centring on underexamined SBT archives and assets, including the SBT's own people, my research encompasses 'off-the page' life-writing, adopting Julie Sanders's stance that Shakespeare walks, for example, can be seen as part of the wider field of biographical writings on Shakespeare. The project has application to wider cultural production of off-the-page life-writing. It is underpinned by a confirmed partnership with the SBT, offering unparalleled access to untapped archives in Stratford-upon-Avon, while allowing me to anchor theory in the SBT's, Stratford-upon-Avon's, and Warwickshire's, physical curated space.My project will apply spatial theory (e.g. Henri Lefebvre, Gilles Deleuze) to key sites and will provide an original theoretical framework, based on Manuel DeLanda's Assemblage Theory, in order to ask how fresh iterations of Shakespeare's life continue to arise. Dr Edmondson, and my primary Shakespeare Institute supervisor, Dr Laoutaris, are Shakespearean biographers with extensive experience researching, writing about, and curating, early modern lives andmaterial culture. My secondary supervisor, Professor Michael Dobson, has extensive expertise in the field of Shakespearean cultural production. Under this uniquely qualified supervision team, I will examine primary sources showing how Shakespeare's story has been constructed: records of curated exhibitionsand the reasons for them (so far as they are retrievable); artistic responses to the five Shakespeare Houses; guidebooks, diaries, guiding scripts, and itineraries; and records showing how the interiors and gardens of the Shakespeare Houses have looked and evolved since the 1850s. I will conduct interviews ofpast and present guides, curators and biographers in order to create an important resource: the SBT's first oral history archive. The SBT and the University of Birmingham will provide the oral history training I need to do this.
