Introduction (Special Cluster On The Catalan Stage, Modern And Contemporary), Sharon G. Feldman Jan 2009

Introduction (Special Cluster On The Catalan Stage, Modern And Contemporary), Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

At an international symposium devoted to the contemporary Catalan stage, which was held at the Institut del Teatre de la Diputació de Barcelona in 2005, director Toni Casares observed how the Catalan theater scene in its post-Franco evolution had, already endured a decade aimed at clarifying its cultural politics. "És l'epoca del teatre institucionalitzat o en vies d'institucionalització," he declared, referring to the decade comprising the years 1985 to 1995. It seemed an almost ironic observation at the time, as any attempt at institutionalization was certainly not a new endeavor for the Catalan theater scene; yet, Casares was also quick …


Rodolf Sirera (Panorama Crític De La Literatura Catalana), Sharon G. Feldman Jan 2009

Rodolf Sirera (Panorama Crític De La Literatura Catalana), Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

De fet hi ha una relació molt notable entre, per una banda, el desenvolupament contemporani del teatre valencià i, per l'altra, els esforços i temptatives de Rodolf Sirera i el seu germà Josep Lluís de promoure, valorar i sostenir les arts escèniques en aquest país (Bou 1988d). Com assenyala John London al seu resum detallat de l'activitat teatral dels germans Sirera, si l'autor teatral català a Barcelona es trobava obligat a enfrontar-se amb nombroses dificultats, la situació a València …


Josep M. Benet I Jornet (Panorama Crític De La Literatura Catalana), Sharon G. Feldman Jan 2009

Josep M. Benet I Jornet (Panorama Crític De La Literatura Catalana), Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

L'aportació de Josep M. Benet i Jornet (Barcelona 1940) al renaixement del teatre de text és indiscutible. Es podria afirmar que Benet i Jornet és el dramaturg en vida més reconegut i estrenat de Catalunya; tanmateix, els estudis crítics a l’entorn de la seva obra han demostrat que la seva trajectòria creativa consisteix també en una història àrdua de lluita constant per defensar i reivindicar la literatura dramàtica en català i la figura de l'autor teatral en general. Com passa sovint amb els autors teatrals catalans contemporanis, gran part dels estudis dedicats al teatre de Benet es concentren en diversos …
