Thursday Lunchtime Lecture - '"The isle is full of noises": Sounding the Meanings of Shakespeare’s Tempest' Date: 10/26/2006; 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Location: Palmer Commons , Floor 3, Forum Hall 100 Washtenaw Avenue, Ann Arbor Host Department: Institute for the Humanities Michael Neill, English, University of Auckland Speaking of Shakespeare. . . A trio of presentations offered by the Institute for the Humanities and the University Musical Society in connection with the residency of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Detailed Information When Caliban assures Stephano and Trinculo that ‘The isle is full of noises, / Sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not’ he draws attention to the fact that The Tempest, uniquely amongst Shakespeare’s plays, is equipped with an elaborate sound-track. Athough Caliban seems not to distinguish between them, the two kinds of sound -- noise and music, one introduced by the chaotic racket of the opening storm, the other by the exquisite harmony of Ariel’s songs – alternate throughout the play. In this paper I will explore the ways in which this pattern contributes to the dramatic meaning of the play, and consider how it might be used to reconcile current post-colonial readings with the seemingly incompatible ‘philosophical’ approaches favored in the past. Free and open to the public. Contact Information Doretha Coval dcoval@umich.edu 734 936 3518 |
