A strange lobster tale of self-sacrificial transversality
Written from the perspective of Transversal Poetics, this essay involves an exploration of the theory’s various selves in the context of a self-immolating spectacle staged at London’s New Globe Theatre by the theory’s progenitor, Dr. Bryan Reynolds. The essay outlines the history of this scandalous affair, which was inspired by the work of Rodrigo Garcia (Accidens: Matar Para Comer), Deleuze and Guattari, and George Bataille.

When the attraction of Ta’ziyeh is diminished, the community should inevitably find a suitable replacement for it
This article studies the influence of form and content of Ta’ziyeh on theatre alongside replacement of Ta’ziyeh in modern theatre by eclectic theatre. In order to investigate and critic the character of Ta’ziyeh on modern theatre, Ta’ziyeh and its influence of artists works are analysed. This raises the question, Is Ta’ziyeh only a traditional, symbolic and unrealistic form of theatre, incomparable to other theatrical styles, or it needs to be fo…

Go Fractalactic! A Brief Guide through Subjectivity in the Philosophy of Félix Guattari and Transversal Poetics
We adventure becomings-Merry Pranksters with Félix Guattari on Ken Kesey's magic bus to resonate the group's transversality that we already affect subjunctively, individually and plurally from which our subjectivities crystallise collectively and independently with intensive-extensions to go viscerallectric and fractalactic. Yet in-process, before our consciousnesses go motored, we swim with jet streams of both Guattari and transversal poetics to…
The Return of Theory in Early Modern English Studies

Transversal Enterprises in the Drama of Shakespeare and his Contemporaries
This study expands on Reynolds' 'transversal poetics' - the theory, methodology, and aesthetics developed in response to the need for an approach that fosters agency, creativity and conscientious scho
Viewing Antitheatricality
Metatheatricality is a term often applied to Marlowe’s 1587 play Tamburlaine. Critics reference the costuming and language of Marlowe’s lead character and argue that he was constructed through metatheatrical and metapoetic self-fashioning. 1 Alternatively, we see Tamburlaine as an extraordinary example of antitheatricality, one that offers its own theory of theater, what we call “post-theater,” that is radically different from the naturalistic mo…

Transversal Performance
The United States of America's immediate response to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was multifarious, but mainly it was horrific astonishment. The people of this country wanted to know who was responsible and why the attacks were perpetrated. They also wanted to know what the damage was and how to fix it. We know now that approximately 3000 people were murdered, yet the answers to the rest of these quest…
Inspriteful Ariels
The Tempest has been a homage to art, an autobiographical farewell to theater, a colonialist celebration of English expansion, an exhortation on early modern (mis)understandings of racial differences, and an expression of patriarchal power, to name just some of the diverse interpretations that have marked its progress through "Shakespace."1 Debates over the play's meaning have spanned topics ranging from geographical determinations to identifying…

Untimely ripped
In this essay, through an examination of its cultural situation, narrative style, and cinematic structure, I hope to explain the controversy that surrounded Roman Polanski's 1971 film version of Macbeth. With both complex cinematic semiology and poignant sociohistorical mediation, Macbeth brings to a critical juncture the philosophies of the 1960s’ peace‐love—revolution hippies, Vietnam war protestors and civil rights activists, the reified mains…
