Description
I WAS WRONG ABOUT AL-QAEDA. After their 9/11 attack on New York and Washington, I watched as usually sensible rural Kansans suddenly imagined immanent attacks on their football stadiums and recreational reservoirs. Apparently since "they" hated all Americans and our "freedom," "they" were out to kill any of us, anywhere, anytime. "Homeland security" dominated self-serving political discourse, bolstering police and surveillance coffers. I believed, on the other hand, that the targets were more deliberately elective, that the terrorists were indifferent to our entertainment venues but were targeting symbols of economic, military, and political power. (1) This week, however, a captured Al-Qaeda training manual called for "blasting and destroying the places of amusement, immorality and sin." Local Kansas officials were taking secret "steps to keep fans safe at sporting events," at the same time reassuring fans that they "should not be fearful of attending Saturday's sellout football game ..." (2) Such tactically mixed messages--"it's a secret how secure you are," and "we are afraid but unafraid"--also reveal a certain anxiety about those entertainment locations, which is important for understanding Shakespeare's relation to the popular, determined in what I call the "entertainment unconscious." In this essay, I will explore its form as an unstable Shakespearean link between an avant-garde production of King Lear and an animated Disney picture as each negotiates a complex nostalgia for film and an anxiety about film's rivals.
