“…As Noémie Ndiaye puts it, it is important to 'unpack the seemingly contradictory dynamics of exclusion and inclusion … and point out the unifying logic that actually requires their continuous push and pull'. 21 The end of the film seems to suggest that it is possible at some stage to move beyond this and explore instead a more inclusive relationship between self and other and, perhaps, nationhood. The final sequence of Young Lucius carrying Aaron's baby in his arms seems to suspend the inevitability of this pendular push and pull.…”

In Julie Taymor's film Titus (1999), which adapts Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, the Roman nation is both violated and violent. Taymor exposes the audience to different kinds of violence – intrafamilial, political, sexual, as well as revenge, infanticide, and racism – all of which are mapped onto characters who are othered by race, ethnicity, gender, or posthumous banishment. This article aims at exploring the relationship between othering and violence in the construction of nationhood. The one who others, the author contends, is also othered, because of the cycle of violence at stake in the film.

Scholars have long recognized the centrality of Spain to representations of race in Shakespeare’s plays. Spain’s status as a site of racial difference in the English imaginary has largely been attributed to two factors: its ‘pure blood statutes’, and anti-Spanish ‘Black Legend’ propaganda. At times, however, an exclusive focus on racialized religious difference has occluded Spain’s significance to other forms of racial discourse. This chapter begins by surveying scholarship on purity of blood in The Merchant of Venice and Othello, then lays out two new avenues for studies of Shakespeare, race, and Spain. The first of these focuses on the history of the Afro-Iberian slave trade, arguing that references to Spain in early modern English drama evoke not only the pure blood statutes but also an emergent discourse linking Blackness with enslavement. The second draws attention to anxieties about Spanish imperial might in two of Shakespeare’s romantic comedies.
