Justice and Racial Discrimination in The Merchant of Venice and Othello

EFL-Teacher Professional Development 2024-2025 - con Arturo Cattaneo

The concept of oracy was first developed in the 1960s to bring together speaking and listening skills. There have been several different proposed frameworks for teaching oracy skills since then. I Shakespeare’s dealing with a racial problem clearly emerges from the text, as well as from the Venetian context of the stories. An interesting angle on the racial problem is also that until World War II the role of Othello was generally denied to black actors in Britain and especially in the USA, being subsequently associated with the struggle against racist oppression.
