My postdoctoral research project is situated within Cluster of Excellence “Africa Multiple” and the research project “Travelling Knowledge and Trans*textuality. African Sources in Shakespearean Drama”. It investigates the epistemological, cultural and political implications and significance of transcultural and transtextual interconnections between Shakespearean drama and West African oral and visual narratives focusing on the warrior and trickster motifs.
