Hey #ShakeRace does the blackening that was part of court entertainments from H8-James1 count as blackface or does blackface have ideological underpinnings that are void here? #AskingForAFriend #ThatFriendIsMe

sort of! i don't dig deeply into what "blackface" as a term connotes, though i argue that EM blackface performance occupies a fraught position between allegorical and realist modes of representation (the conflation of which provides the mechanism for denigration, minstrelsy, etc)

Shakespeare was well aware that Cleopatra VII Philopator was a (Macedonian) Greek of the Ptolemaic dynasty because he read Thomas North's English translation of Roman historian Plutarch's work (in Greek), so calling Cleo "tawny" seems like a circumstantial literary device.pic.twitter.com/gznZn6cfwK

Maybe Shakespeare was trying to do something that was historically inaccurate? She’s not just tawny but pinched black by Phoebus’ amorous pinches? Thanks for this.
