Resumo(s)
This chapter foregrounds transculturation as a cultural practice performed through adaptation with reference to Vishal Bhardwaj’s Maqbool, a 2003 adaptation of Macbeth set in Mumbai that doubles as a gangster film. Thematically, two aspects inform processes of cultural recontextualization in Bhardwaj’s film: the Hindi film industry’s fascination with the Muslim-dominated Mumbai underworld, and the trope of corruption. The ways these intersecting themes undergird the transculturation of Macbeth in India make Bhardwaj’s work a particularly interesting case of Shakespearean adaptation. The thematic anchor of this chapter is the trope of corruption as my arguments are based on two senses of the word: corruption as dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, such as that involving bribery; and corruption as a synonym of intertextuality and intermediality, a “mashup” of an “original” or “source” text.
