Abstract
The White whittles into every single aspect of our lifestyle, thought, health and ecological concern, ingeniously fashioning us to cohere. Today William Shakespeare’s writings are the kitsch of thinkers searching for ways to give teeth to the margins. His plays are a ludic locus for engaging with the world of high Renaissance and Enlightenment whose seams stitch over and gloss rankness to create a pristine White. While Shakespeare lived in an age of anomalies where Americas were beginning to be explored and colonized, Robert Browning experienced at first hand the British Empire’s guts and glory. His Caliban Upon Setebos re-casts the Bard’s Caliban, who had been forcibly dispossessed by the proverbial European of every material belonging and made to feel like an animal without a modicum of intelligence and worth, as sensitive, soulful and yet alone. The grafted vantage of the White community continues to simmer with discontent because the proviso of space to alternate voices remains conditional, limited and circumvented. Derek Walcott who lived and taught in the Americas till recently was an Afro-White American whose works like A Branch of Blue Nile and Goats and Monkeys explore and explode the politics of effacing the African global footprint in crafted euro-centric myths and classics which despite obliterating the Black continue to be the staple of academics in postcolonial societies. This paper intends to bare what Spivak calls “the tendency to create an inchoate ‘other’” from what is “but a piece of material evidence that is textual… of received ideas.” Browning and Walcott arraign the pop cultural simulacra which perpetuate moral acquiescence and create mindboggling and mind-numbing torpor through education and moral/ethical stereotyping to fix Black as apocalyptic and evil. Shakespeare’s plays are their proverbial spaces to give voice to the outcast.
