More than four centuries after his death, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) remains one of the most widely read, translated, staged, and reinterpreted authors in the world. His work spans a multitude of media platforms and continues to spark fundamental debates about language, subjectivity, power, gender, history, and performativity. “Our” Shakespeare, as Terry Eagleton suggests, is not the same as that of his contemporaries, and it is precisely the processes of (re)reading and (re)writing that rearticulate his work and ensure its critical and interpretative survival.

It is in this sense that this call for papers aims to gather artistic and academic contributions that expand the Shakespearean field of studies. We welcome article submissions that approach his poetic and dramatic production in its multiple facets; from classical to contemporary, including literary analysis, performance, staging and production of Shakespearean texts, issues of translation and adaptation, fan rewritings, comparative and linguistic studies, among other possibilities:

• Literary and poetic analysis of Shakespeare's works;
• Textual and editing studies; 
• Literary translation processes; 
• Critical reviews of the state of the art; 
• Studies of the reception of dramatic and poetic works; 
• Comparative readings; 
• Theatre, performance and staging/production; 
• Adaptations and rewritings, including cinematic, literary and intermedial versions of Shakespearean works in modern and post-colonial contexts; 
• Fan studies and productions; 
• Cultural and theoretical studies, including issues of gender, race, politics, ecocriticism, and post-humanism in Shakespeare's texts and receptions; 
• Digital humanities and virtual contexts of the work; 
• Teaching Shakespeare across different levels.

For the Resenhas section, we invite submissions of texts that discuss works published in the last three years about the bard, including analyses of theoretical and artistic books and reissues. Up to 15 pages.

For the Poéticas section, original artistic works may be submitted, such as texts, photographs, illustrations, stagings, videos, audios, poems, and short stories that engage with the central theme of the dossier, preferably accompanied by a brief introductory note (up to one page) situating the aesthetic gesture and its mediations. Up to 20 pages.
