Abstract: The cover of the present volume returns to the theme of Federico García Lorca and La Barraca explored in volume 73, number 1. We also continue our reflections on the student troupe’s legacy ninety years after it first set forth to travel the Spanish countryside, one of the Second Republic’s state-sponsored misiones pedógicas designed to bring the theater of the Golden Age to contemporary rural audiences. Featured here is Lorca’s own sketch of another type of itinerant trickster drawn from La Barraca’s repertoire: the vagabond estudiante of Cervantes’s La cueva de Salamanca, who proves himself something of a skilled actor in staging a scene of his own design to sing for his supper (fig. 1). The 1932 re-envisioning ... Read More PubDate: 2022-09-11T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: PROBABLY COMPOSED BY 1604 (Alberola 77), Lope de Vega’s La fuerza lastimosa is a breathtaking excursion through comedia conventions that veers into unexpected terrain. Lope is (mostly) in deft control of his boisterous materials as he launches and doubles back on characters and events with admirable mastery and wit. Among the play’s fascinations are a romantic hero who dithers in a crisis; a deplorable antagonist ultimately rewarded with a kingdom; mothers; children; apparent wife-murder; cross-dressing in both directions; even-more-than-usually bludgeoned unity of time; a dim and imprudent king (good reason to set it far away, in Ireland); a vague historical context (medieval, but an armada looms and crashes over ...

Abstract: JERÓNIMA, protagonista de El amor médico (1635), es una dama sevillana que se viste de doctor y se hace llamar Barbosa para poder practicar la medicina y viajar a Portugal en búsqueda de Gaspar, su objetivo amoroso. En el transcurso de los tres actos de El amor médico, la protagonista va adoptando progresivamente diferentes disfraces hasta que su identidad, al inicio clara y estable, termina disolviéndose (Turner 3). Jerónima se enmascara con elementos de indumentaria —como sombreretes, mantos, capa— y del lenguaje —tales como la alternancia de castellano y portugués y de los registros cotidiano y académico— para perseguir a Gaspar, casarse con él y ejercer sus estudios de medicina. En el primer acto, que ... Read More PubDate: 2022-09-11T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: LOPE DE VEGA’S Las mujeres sin hombres offers an ambivalent view of the legendary Amazons, presenting the women warriors of the ancient world as at once admirable and deviant. The plot of the play retells the story of Hercules and Theseus’s siege of the Amazon city of Themiscyra, and as in the source texts, Lope’s male characters defeat the warrior women. At the end of the play, the Amazons’ political organization is left in ruins, and the women must marry and give up their independence. The unhappy fate of Lope’s Amazons reflects treatments of the myths from ancient to early modern. The mythic Amazons inhabit a liminal space between virtue and vice. They invert rather than escape patriarchy, and their ... Read More PubDate: 2022-09-11T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: THIS OUTSTANDING MONOGRAPH by one of Italy’s leading scholars and translators of Golden Age drama deserves a truly global readership, and therefore merits translation into at least Spanish and English. Fausta Antonucci’s Calderón de la Barca is a recent and highly welcome addition to the distinguished series of studies dedicated to single authors—among them Boccaccio, Ariosto, and Tasso—published by Salerno Editrice and favoring an emphasis on matters of literary career and production. Thus, Antonucci skillfully satisfies a primary objective familiar to her Italian readership, but one that remains relatively rare in the international field of Calderón studies. In this and other respects, hers is an accessible ... Read More PubDate: 2022-09-11T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: EN ESTE LIBRO, Ted Bergman nos invita a examinar representaciones de delincuentes de la España de 1600. Bajo la noción que el autor denomina “Criminal Baroque”, se contemplan diversas representaciones, desde jácaras hasta ejecuciones públicas, independientemente de que presentaran hechos ficcionales o reales, o fueran de naturaleza teatral. Su argumento es que estos eventos públicos, además de entretener a los espectadores, los hacían reparar con desencanto en la omnipresencia de la delincuencia en la vida diaria y en el descrédito de las autoridades encargadas de preservar el orden. Asimismo, llevaban a la audiencia a empatizar con los delincuentes e incluso a celebrarlos, difundiendo modos de actuar y de ... Read More PubDate: 2022-09-11T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: APROXIMARSE a una obra de Calderón de la Barca desde las ediciones que prepara el Grupo de Investigación Siglo de Oro (GRISO) para la colección Biblioteca Áurea Hispánica garantiza, sin duda, una lectura de calidad. La incansable labor que los investigadores del equipo han venido desarrollando en los últimos años ha permitido a la comunidad científica y al público lector en general conocer en profundidad las piezas calderonianas en sus aspectos textuales, estéticos y hermenéuticos. La edición de El pintor de su deshonra realizada por Liège Rinaldi de Assis Pacheco añade a la colección un título esencial que, a pesar de ser una de las producciones más carismáticas del dramaturgo, no había recibido hasta la fecha la ...

Abstract: THIS IS THE CATALOGUE of an exhibition at Madrid’s Casa Museo Lope de Vega between May and September 2021 on screen adaptations of Golden Age drama from their beginning in 1914 to the death of dictator Francisco Franco in 1975. The authors, members of the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona’s Grupo Prolope, organized the display, a rich harvest from a score of Spanish, German, and Russian archives of documents (scripts, proposals, censors’ reports), posters, stills, and film clips, including the full screening of Ludwig Berger’s silent Der Richter von Zalamea (52 minutes, 1920), recently restored in the Filmarchiv of the Bundesarchiv in Berlin. The event was accompanied by a program of guided visits, a concert ... Read More PubDate: 2022-09-11T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: IN A BOLD DEFENSE for the ongoing relevance of comedia studies as a field, this edited collection brings together more than twenty scholars and theater practitioners to actively reflect on the dynamic relationships between theater, politics, culture, and identity. The overall aim of the book is to explore best practices for engaging with early modern Spanish theater, both within the context of our classrooms as well as in the wider context of contemporary performance and adaptation. The essays assert the variety of ways these plays speak to both historical and contemporary understandings of justice and experiences of inequality.Social Justice in Spanish Golden Age Theatre is divided into three parts. In part 1, a ... Read More PubDate: 2022-09-11T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: EN ENTRE CORSARIOS Y CAUTIVOS, Daniel Fernández Rodríguez persigue delimitar, definir y analizar en toda su extensión uno de los géneros con los que operó Lope de Vega a lo largo de su dilatada carrera de dedicación al teatro profesional, el de las comedias bizantinas. El corpus se compone de nueve piezas escritas y representadas entre 1590 y 1615: El Grao de Valencia (1590), Jorge Toledano (1595–96), La viuda, casada y doncella (1597), El Argel fingido y renegado de amor (1599), Los tres diamantes (1599), La pobreza estimada (1600–03), Los esclavos libres (1602), La doncella Teodor (1608–10) y Virtud, pobreza y mujer (1615).

Abstract: THE ROLES of enslaved peoples and freed Black men and women as both the subjects and producers of images in early modern Spain have garnered increasing attention in recent decades thanks to the work of scholars such as Victor I. Stoichita, Luis Méndez Rodríguez, and Carmen Fracchia, the author of the book under review. At once drawing upon and going beyond previous, more specialized studies, Fracchia’s monograph is the first to analyze slavery and depictions of Blackness in visual culture across imperial Spain.As she states at the outset, Fracchia aims to explore both “hegemonic visions” of Black subjects and to uncover “critical and emancipatory practices by Afro-Hispanic slaves and ex-slaves,” but she does not ...

Abstract: FRANCISCO GÓMEZ MARTOS takes a pan-European approach to analyzing the figure of the king’s favorite minister in the theatrical traditions of Spain, France, and England during the seventeenth century. This comparative method is a fitting lens for an installment in Routledge Press’s Studies in Renaissance and Early Modern Worlds of Knowledge Series, which aims to frame its scholarship from a globally connected perspective. Historians have long presented royal favoritism from a broader European position after the seminal studies of J.H. Elliott’s Richelieu and Olivares (Cambridge UP, 1984) and Elliott and Laurence Brockliss’s subsequent The World of the Favourite (Yale UP, 1998), yet scholars of literature have ...

Abstract: THIS DIGITAL-ONLY, open-access, bilingual volume focuses on the ongoing work of the Comédie-Française Registers Project, an international initiative that investigates how digital humanities methods might “facilitate, enrich, and affect the study of the theatrical past,” as Sylvaine Guyot and Jeffrey S. Ravel state in their introduction (3). The Comédie-Française Registers Project springs from the incredibly complete manuscript and print records of the Comédie-Française preserved in the Bibliothèque-Musée at the far side of the Palais-Royal in Paris. A set of 112 folio registers that records nightly box office receipts from over 34,000 performances has been digitalized. That sales data has been made available online ...

Abstract: IN THIS GROUNDBREAKING BOOK, Paul Michael Johnson reads Miguel de Cervantes’s works through the lens of affectivity and situates them within the context of the Mediterranean world. Whereas many past studies on the Mediterranean—from Fernand Braudel’s La Méditerranée et le monde méditerranéen à l’époque de Philippe II (Armand Colin, 1949) to Peregrine Horden and Nicholas Purcell’s The Corrupting Sea (Blackwell, 2000)— have principally depended on geography, climate, and economics to guide their inquiry, Johnson prioritizes the literatures of this region, specifically the work of Cervantes, to show that “literature, in particular, may be as influential in constructing the Mediterranean as are its geomorphological ...

Abstract: THE CREATION of a new field of inquiry may often constitute the academic equivalent of extreme sports, and that is certainly the case when it takes place in the arena of medieval and early modern Hispanic Studies. The mere act of not specifying the exact rules of that intersection within such broad an area is still met in some circles with a resistance that is not surprising given the traditionally strict divisions that have dominated the Hispanic humanities. Hispanic literature is one of the disciplines where tradition has wielded greater power, making novel approaches seem more transgressive than they would probably appear in other disciplines. In this context, what editors Nicholas R. Jones and Chad Leahy ... Read More PubDate: 2022-09-11T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: RICHARD KAGAN’S latest book realizes the ambition disclosed in the author note to his 1996 essay, “Prescott’s Paradigm: American Historical Scholarship and the Decline of Spain” (The American Historical Review, vol. 101, no. 2, 1996, pp. 423–46): to produce a volume that documents “the image of Spain and its culture in the United States” (446). Achieving this goal was certainly not an easy task. Not only is the subject—more than a century and a half of Anglo-American interactions with and attitudes toward Spain and its overseas territories—vast, but any attempt to trace a history of beliefs and biases, fads and fashions is treacherous work. Opinions change, and change again, and there often is no accounting for ... Read More PubDate: 2022-09-11T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: IN THE WORDS of the contemporary Mexican poet Luis Felipe Fabre, “Todos los sorjuanistas discrepan en algo. Discrepan / entre ellos. Discrepan / en algo que suele ser casi todo” (“Sor Juana y otros monstruos,” Poemas de terror y de misterio, Almadía, 2013). These disagreements began during Sor Juana’s day as her many defenders took on her equally numerous critics. More recently, the polemic intensified after the 1982 publication of Octavio Paz’s Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz y las trampas de la fe and has continued unabated since then. The most contentious issues are less concerned with interpreting her works and more with understanding key moments in her life. Given the paucity of biographical documents relevant to ...

Abstract: THIS VOLUME brings together a diverse group of scholars both in terms of their rank and in terms of their disciplinary orientation: independent researchers, assistant professors, associate professors, and full professors, as well as historians, literary critics, anthropologists, and other scholars engaged in performance studies or cultural studies. Their basic objective is to center the experiences of Black folk in the early modern period to show just how integral they were in shaping Western culture, even as they built their own. From this transdisciplinary standpoint, these authors propose to “interrupt” (4) the epistemological borders and canonical cornerstones that have traditionally defined their individual ...

Abstract: IN RECENT YEARS, there has been an increasing tendency to treat the early modern Iberian world comparatively and from a global perspective, expanding the earlier model of transatlantic studies to incorporate transpacific and other networks. Among historians, the works of Sanjay Subrahmanyam on “connected histories” (for instance, “Holding the World in Balance: The Connected Histories of the Iberian Overseas Empires, 1500–1640,” The American Historical Review, vol. 112, no. 5, 2007, pp. 1359–385) and of Serge Gruzinski (Les quatre parties du monde: histoire d’une mondialisation, Éditions de la Martinière, 2004) articulated this movement, which has since given rise to a series of collective volumes specifically ...

Abstract: LA PUBLICACIÓN DE LA EDICIÓN de la comedia Barlaán y Josafat por parte del profesor italiano Daniele Crivellari es una buena noticia para el mundo de los estudios auriseculares. Por un lado, es la culminación de un trabajo meticuloso de archivo que llevó al profesor Crivellari a localizar este manuscrito en 2014 en la Fundación Martin Bodmer (Ginebra), después de que, durante más de ochenta años, se hubiese considerado perdido en el incendio que produjeron los bombarderos alemanes en la biblioteca londinense de la Holland House que lo custodiaba. Una edición de 1935 de José Fernández Montesinos, elaborada a partir del autógrafo, era el único contacto con la versión original de la obra, toda vez que la tradición ...

Abstract: SINCE THE PUBLICATION of his first monograph, Golden Age Drama in Contemporary Spain: The Comedia on Page, Stage and Screen (U of Wales P, 2012), Duncan Wheeler has established himself as a leading critical voice among anglophone Hispanists interested in the Golden Age comedia and its modern reception, including the relatively understudied phenomenon of comedias adapted to film. For readers familiar with Wheeler’s scholarship on the praxis of early modern Hispanic theater in our contemporary world, La puesta en escena del teatro áureo will serve more as a retrospective sampling than as a fresh installation of new material. The book’s eight chapters are Spanish-language translations of articles or book chapters ... Read More PubDate: 2022-09-11T00:00:00-05:00

Sin negar que la educación superior en Norteamérica estuviera ya gravemente atravesada por un contexto de crisis —la retirada de financiación pública, los ataques a la utilidad de las artes liberales, la consolidación de un discurso y una práctica corporativistas—, el manifiesto de la que en 2010 fuera presidenta de la Modern Language Association of America ...
