Research Abstract |
Reynolds’ work spans several disciplines, including critical theory, history, performance studies, social semiotics, philosophy, cognitive science, and dramatic literature, especially of the English Renaissance. It focuses on the experience, articulation, and performance of consciousness and sociocultural differences, particularly the ideologies and passions that define them, both on and off the stage. His publications include: Transversal Enterprises in the Drama of Shakespeare and his Contemporaries: Fugitive Explorations (2006), Performing Transversally: Reimagining Shakespeare and the Critical Future (2003), Becoming Criminal: Transversal Performance and Cultural Dissidence in Early Modern England (2002), co-edited with William West, Rematerializing Shakespeare: Authority and Representation on the Early Modern English Stage (2005), and co-edited with Donald Hedrick, Shakespeare Without Class: Misappropriations of Cultural Capital (2000). His next book, Transversal Subjects: From Montaigne to Deleuze after Derrida, is forthcoming December 2008. Reynolds is also a screenwriter, playwright, director of theater, and cofounder of the Transversal Theater Company, whose productions of Reynolds’ plays Unbuckled, Woof, Daddy, Railroad, and Blue Shade toured Romania (June 2004), Poland (April 2005), Romania (May/June 2006), Czech Republic and Poland (May/June 2007), and Romania (November 2007) in addition to performances in California and New York. The company’s production of his new play, Lumping in Fargo, directed by Chris Marshall, will tour to several Eastern European countries in 2007. |
