Description
Widening economic inequality has been identified as a moral challenge that constitutes a global impediment to socioeconomic well-being. While incongruities exist within any dynamic system, a sustained unequal value distribution can lead to social and economic obstructions for individuals and communities. Entrepreneurship has been identified as a force for good and subsequently funded as an institutional methodology to disburse well-being by democratizing economic empowerment. Current popular approaches are institutionalized in wealthier Western contexts, encapsulated in linear narratives, and aggressively exported to new, foreign environments. Due to the often-unrecognized philosophical assumptions underlying these narratives, current approaches tend to limit the benefits of entrepreneurship to specific audiences and position the promoting institutions as entrepreneurial imperialists, creating an economic hegemony as they reinforce current power dynamics and save the most valuable entrepreneurial exchanges for those with access and resources, often benefiting the institutions economically.
While much has been written on removing the impediments to current entrepreneurial approaches, this dissertation prioritizes practical utility by proposing the need for a refreshed philosophical approach, a new entrepreneurial narrative, and dynamic institutional networks that prioritize autonomy towards more effectively engaging a favorite of current entrepreneurial narratives: the rising generation.

Description
This doctoral dissertation analyzes the rendering of three complex concepts (otherness, alterity, and identity)—and their relationship— in three rewrites of William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Hamlet and The Tragedy of Macbeth from America’s Southern Cone (Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile). By embarking in a close reading of Interrogatorio en Elsinore (Carlos Manuel Varela), La señora Macbeth (Griselda Gambaro), and Yorick: la historia de Hámlet (Francisco y Simón Reyes), this dissertation approaches otherness, alterity, and identity in three of its multiple dimensions (ideological, gender, and artistic subjectivity of the translator/adaptator vis-à-vis the writer). While several studies have explored these three concepts separately and mostly from a cultural standpoint, this is the first one to show how they interact between one another through its representation in three rewrites of Shakespeare in Spanish from Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile. The cultures and history of the countries in which these three translations/adaptations are immersed are just a layer of this research. In addition to it—and loyal to the spirit of the texts being analyzed—this study takes advantage of other disciplines (translation studies, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and gender and communication theory, just to name a few) to analyze in depth and systematically what is implied in otherness, alterity, and identity. The interdisciplinary nature of this dissertation leads to valuable conclusions that can be of benefit, not only for the type of societies portrayed by the rewrites being studied, but for others as well.
