Abstract

Spain's Golden Age, the seventeenth century, left the world one great legacy, the flower of its dramatic genius -- the comedia. The work of the Golden Age playwrights represents the largest combined body of dramatic literature from a single historical period, comparable in magnitude to classical tragedy and comedy, to Elizabethan drama, and to French neoclassical theater. A History of Spanish Golden Age Drama is the first up-to-date survey of the history of the comedia, with special emphasis on critical approaches developed during the past ten years.A history of the comedia necessarily focuses

Abstract

"The counter-epic is a literary style that developed in reaction to imperialist epic conventions as a means of scrutinizing the consequences of foreign conquest of dominated peoples. It also functioned as a transitional literary form, a bridge between epic narratives of military heroics and novelistic narratives of commercial success. In Discourses of Empire, Barbara Simerka examines the representation of militant Christian imperialism in early modern Spanish literature by focusing on this counter-epic discourse."--Jacket.

Abstract

This volume deals with the commitment in the defense of egalitarian values by theatrical creators of the Spanish republican exile of 1939. Their innovative narrative and visual discourse offer models of masculinity and femininity that represent the change in gender paradigms derived from the rising leading role of women in the public sphere. The book approaches the potential differentiation of work produced by them in terms of sexual identity, especially in questions as maternity and conjugality, showing the position of society with regard to the professional women. It also explains the influence of the professional roles achieved by the republican Spanish women in the international scene –Mexico, France, Argentina, Cuba, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, Uruguay– thanks to their use of modern artistic languages in works located between Vanguard and Tradition. They were also known for their work in Cinema, Radio, Television, Pedagogy and Translation. All these fields let women creators and managers continue with their artistic labor in the republican exile. Without forgetting the links with the country of origin, they were the best ambassadors of those artistic vanguards that so influenced the modernization of ideological and esthetic discourse in Western societies. Este volumen indaga sobre el compromiso en la defensa de valores igualitarios por parte de los creadores y creadoras teatrales del exilio republicano de 1939, cuyos innovadores discursos narrativos y visuales presentan unos modelos de masculinidad y feminidad representativos del cambio en los paradigmas de género acordes con el creciente protagonismo de las mujeres en la Esfera pública. Aborda la potencial diferenciación de sus realizaciones en relación con su identidad sexual, en especial en cuestiones como la maternidad y la conyugalidad, y la posición de la sociedad ante las mujeres profesionales. Trata asimismo de la influencia que tuvo la agencia femenina republicana en la escena internacional -México, Francia, Argentina, Cuba, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, Uruguay-, gracias a la modernidad de sus lenguajes expresivos, entre la Vanguardia y la Tradición, y a su trabajo en el Cine, la Radio, la Televisión, la Pedagogía o la Traducción, que permitió a estas creadoras y gestoras continuar su labor artística durante su exilio. Sin olvidar sus vínculos con su país de origen, fueron los mejores embajadores de aquellas vanguardias históricas que tanto influyeron en la modernización de los discursos ideológicos y estéticos de las sociedades occidentales.
