| Content | El teatro fue la actividad de ocio principal de los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII, o sea, los conocidos como Siglos de Oro y la Ilustración. En España, por lo general, las piezas principales de teatro eran aderezadas de intermedios lúdicos situados entre las jornadas o actos de la pieza principal; los llamados, según el discurrir de los siglos, pasos, entremeses y sainetes. Estas piezas eran de naturaleza cómica, pero ¿de qué se reía la gente en esa época? En este seminario recorreremos algunas piezas clave de los autores más relevantes de la época, a saber: Lope de Rueda, Cervantes, Quiñones de Benavente, Quevedo, Ramón de la Cruz, etc. Este panorama nos permitirá detenernos en las estrategias específicas de cada momento, especialmente las que se pueden deducir del texto dramático, con el fin de averiguar cuáles eran los motivos de la burla y su evolución a lo largo de los siglos. |
| Learning objectives | Familiarizarse y entender el teatro breve de los siglos XVI-XVIII; conocer y analizar el concepto de humor y su función en el teatro de dicho periodo. |
| Bibliography | Autores y obras que serán comentadas: Lope de Rueda (Las aceitunas, Cornudo y contento), Cervantes (La cueva de Salamanca, El viejo celoso, El juez de los divorcios, El rufián viudo), Quiñones de Benavente (Los refranes del viejo celoso), Quevedo (El marido fantasma), Ramón de la Cruz (Manolo, El casamiento desigual). Una colección de textos se facilitará al inicio del semestre. |
