Contribution to the Shakespeare on screen in francophonia research programme and online database

Erin will work at the the Institute for Research on the Renaissance, the Neo-classical Age and the Enlightenment, a joint research centre (UMR 5186) of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). She will take part in the Shakespeare on screen in francophonia research programme, which consists of referencing and analysing Shakespeare adaptations and allusions on cinema and television screens in French-speaking countries. Erin will feed the online database: http://shakscreen.org/ by spotting and referencing the Shakespearean aspects and quotations in the films and writing descriptions for each of these references, in English. She will have a list of films to deal with but will also be free to explore other relevant films that will enlarge the corpus. Erin will be supervised by the programme leaders, Nathalie Vienne-Guerrin and Patricia Dorval.
