 Reynolds’ research
spans several disciplines, including critical theory, history,
performance studies, social semiotics, philosophy, cognitive
neuroscience, and dramatic literature, especially of the
English Renaissance. It focuses on the experience, articulation,
and performance of consciousness, subjectivity, and sociocultural
formations, particularly the ideologies, passions, and
geographies that define them, both on and off the stage.
His
publications include: Transversal
Enterprises in the Drama of Shakespeare and his Contemporaries:
Fugitive Explorations (2006), Performing
Transversally: Reimagining Shakespeare and the Critical
Future (2003), Becoming
Criminal: Transversal Performance and Cultural Dissidence
in Early Modern England (2002), co-edited with
William
West, Rematerializing
Shakespeare: Authority and Representation on the Early Modern
English Stage
(2005), and co-edited with Donald
Hedrick, Shakespeare
Without Class: Misappropriations of Cultural Capital (2000).
His
next book, Transversal Subjects: From Montaigne to
Deleuze after Derrida, is forthcoming in 2008.
Among other projects, he is currently writing two books, Unreal
Mockery: Consciousness Explored in Early Modern England and,
with Mark
LeVine, Microcosmos: Our Violence and the Future
of Happiness; and, with John
Rouse, he is co-editing, Scales of Production:
