La Fragilitat Del Paisatge, Sharon G. Feldman
La Fragilitat Del Paisatge, Sharon G. Feldman
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
Dins de la galáxia teatral formada per estrelles de grans i petites dimensions que és l'escena catalana contemporània, Josep M. Benet i Jornet (Barcelona, 1940) és com un cometa; no un d'aquells estels fugaços que apareix en una de les seves obres més reeixides (Fugaç, 1992), sinó com un cometa la trajectória creativa del qual ha estat marcada per un procés constant d'evolució i renovació estètiques, un cometa que ha deixat una lluïssor indeleble, que li ha permès d'omplir el buit entre generacions. Es podria afirmar que Benet i Jornet és el dramaturg en vida més eminent i …
Agustín Gómez-Arcos, Sharon G. Feldman
Agustín Gómez-Arcos, Sharon G. Feldman
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
Agustín Gómez-Arcos, a bilingual dramatist and novelist, was born in 1933 in the village of Enix (Almeria). The origins of his theater can be traced to his childhood experiences, in which he witnessed firsthand the horrors of the Spanish Civil War and the dark clouds of oppression of the Francoist regime, images that left indelible imprints on his literature and his life. Although in the future he would leave behind both native country and language, his memories of the Civil War and postwar period would continue to surface in his plays.
Agustín Gómez-Arcos En El Ocaso Del Exilio: Los Primeros Años Parisinos, Sharon G. Feldman
Agustín Gómez-Arcos En El Ocaso Del Exilio: Los Primeros Años Parisinos, Sharon G. Feldman
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
Agustín Gómez-Arcos llego a Francia en 1968, y sus primeros años de residencia en Paris representan un intervalo de transición con respecto a su trayectoria como escritor. Es una época de continuidad, tanto como de ruptura, en la cual las arduas memorias de un pasado español se funden con nuevos comienzos. Mientras que los temas que marcaron sus obras anteriores -la política, la religión, el erotismo y la lengua siguen habitando su escritura exílica, a la vez, su salida de España lógicamente induce una serie de transformaciones temáticas y estilísticas que más adelante pasaran a su obra novelística. En el …
Sanctifying The Scatological And Debasing The Divine: Postmordernist Allegory And Gómez-Arcos's Interview De Mrs. Muerta Smith Por Sus Fantasmas, Sharon G. Feldman
Sanctifying The Scatological And Debasing The Divine: Postmordernist Allegory And Gómez-Arcos's Interview De Mrs. Muerta Smith Por Sus Fantasmas, Sharon G. Feldman
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
In February 1991, when Agustin Gómez-Arcos's Interview de Mrs. Muerta Smith por sus fantasmas premiered at Madrid's Sala Olimpia, the voice of one of Europe's most distinguished living writers triumphantly returned to the Spanish stage after an absence that had endured nearly twenty-six years. Born in Almería at the outset of the Spanish Civil War, Gómez-Arcos began his career in Madrid as an award-winning playwright. Eventually his ongoing struggle against Francoist censorship prompted his voluntary exile from Spain in 1966, and following a two-year sojourn in London, he arrived in Paris amid the clamor of 1968. Since that time he …
Agustín Gómez-Arcos's Diálogos De La Herejía And The Deconstruction Of History, Sharon G. Feldman
Agustín Gómez-Arcos's Diálogos De La Herejía And The Deconstruction Of History, Sharon G. Feldman
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
In 1962, Agustín Gómez-Arcos, a young dramatist, still new to the Madrid theater scene, won his first Premio Nacional Lope de Vega for the historical drama Diálogos de la herejía. Yet almost immediately, the prize was swept from his hands in a wave of controversy, annulled in a blatant gesture of censorship that signified the Franco Regime's official response to his unorthodox choice of thematic material, and consequently banned the play from the stages of Spain's state-supported teatros nacionales. Set amid the sacrificial flames of the Spanish Inquisition, Diálogos de la herejía portrays the turmoil and hysteria that rock a …
