About This Book
This Element examines recent documentaries depicting marginalized youth who are ostensibly redeemed by their encounters with Shakespeare. These films emerge in response to four historical and discursive developments: the rise of reality television and its emphasis on the emotional transformation of the private individual; the concomitant rise of neoliberalism and emotional capitalism, which employ therapeutic discourses to individualize social inequality; the privatization of public education and the rise of so-called "no-excuses" or "new paternalist" charter schools; and the emergence of new modes of address infusing evangelical conversion narratives with a therapeutic self-help ethos.
