Necromancers, buffoons, conspirators: The uses of utopia in Držić's Dubrovnik and Shakespeare's England

The paper will focus on two (seemingly quite distant)instances of the use of utopian topos by Renaissance playwrights: William Shakespeare in his romance The Tempest (1610) and the Croatian playwright Marin Držić in this best-known play, the comedy Uncle Maroje (1551).

520 |a The paper will focus on two (seemingly quite distant)instances of the use of utopian topos by Renaissance playwrights: William Shakespeare in his romance The Tempest (1610) and the Croatian playwright Marin Držić in this best-known play, the comedy Uncle Maroje (1551). The examination will attempt to show how both the choice of utopian motives for these plays as well as the remarkable parallels in the con/textual functioning of utopia within the entire semantic framework of each play relate to a set of common aesthetic and politico-ideological concerns of the two playwrights. By analyzing the specific textual strategies linked to the employment of utopian motives in the two plays, the author will try to demonstrate how utopian topos was employed by both playwrights precisely for its potential within Renaissance culture to be made into a potent instrument for raising the debate concerning the nature and origins of political power, as issue in many ways central to both Držić and Shakespeare.
