Routledge Handbook of Shakespeare and Interface

<p><em>The Routledge Handbook of Shakespeare and Interface </em>provides a ground-breaking investigation into media-specific spaces where Shakespeare is experienced. While such operations may be largely invisible to the average reader or viewer, the interface properties of books, screens, and stages profoundly mediate our cognitive engagement with Shakespeare.</p><p>This volume considers contemporary debates and questions including how mobile devices mediate the experience of Shakespeare; the impact of rapidly evolving virtual reality technologies and the interface architectures which condition Shakespearean plays; and how design elements of hypertext, menus, and screen navigation operate within internet Shakespeare spaces. Charting new frontiers, this diverse collection delivers fresh insight into human–computer interaction and user-experience theory, cognitive ecology, and critical approaches such as historical phenomenology. This volume also highlights the application of media and interface design theory to questions related to the medium of the play and its crucial interface with the body and mind.</p> <p>Introduction</p><p>Clifford Werier and Paul Budra</p><p>Part 1</p><p>Media and the embodied mind </p><p>1 Reading Shakespeare: Interface and Cognitive Load</p><p>Clifford Werier </p><p>2 Shakespeare and Virtual Reality</p><p>Rebecca Bushnell and Michael Ullyot</p><p>3 All the Game Is a Stage: The Controller and Interface in Shakespearean Videogames <i>Mark Kaethler</i> </p><p>4 Voice as Interface</p><p>Bruce Smith</p><p>Part 2 </p><p>Apparent designs and hidden grounds </p><p>5<b> </b>Shakespearean Interfaces and Worldmaking: Buried Narratives, Hidden Grounds, and the Culture of Adaptive Practice </p><p>Daniel Fischlin</p><p>6 What Are Interfaces For, Really? </p><p>Gabriel Egan</p><p>7 Interface Design and Editorial Theory</p><p>Gary Taylor</p><p>8 Abstraction as Shakespearean Interface </p><p>Jonathan Lamb and Suzanne Tanner</p><p>Part 3</p><p>Surfaces and depths </p><p>9 The <i>Hamlet </i>First Quarto (1603) and the Play of Typography</p><p>Erika Boeckeler</p><p>10 Desiring Bodies, Divine Violence and Typographic Interfaces in <i>Champ Fleury</i> and <i>Venus and Adonis</i></p><p>Simon Ryle</p><p>11 "If you can command these elements": TEI Markup as Shakespearean Interface</p><p>Sarah Connell</p><p>Part 4</p><p>Display, navigation, and functionality </p><p>12 "Into a thousand parts divide": The Pursuit of Precision in Shakespeare’s Interfaces</p><p>Rebecca Niles</p><p>13 Does Jonson Break the Data Model?
