FT-53173-05	Research Programs: Summer Stipends	Kenneth Samuel Jackson	Shakespeare, Abraham, and the "Abrahamic"	5/1/2005 - 6/30/2005	$5,000.00	Kenneth	Samuel	Jackson				Wayne State University	Detroit	MI	48201-1347	USA	2005	British Literature	Summer Stipends	Research Programs	5000	0	5000	0	I am completing a book length study that seeks to use Jacques Derrida's recent philosophical work on Abraham and the "Abrahamic" to illuminate Shakespeare's own religious fascination with the story of the sacrifice of Isaac. This interdisciplinary study seeks to use Derrida's work to reinvigorate the tired question of Shakespeare's religion in history while bringing Shakespeare to the current, heated philosophical discussion regarding the "turn to religion" and "ethics" in contemporary thought where Derrida's reading of Abraham already occupies center stage.
