Texto y espectaculo. Selected Proceedings of the Fourteenth Annual Golden Age Spanish Theatre Symposium

This article provides a description of translations and stage adaptations of Golden Age Spanish theatre from early 19th century to the present day. Fluctuations in taste, expectations and changing preferences of audiences, as well as the political context influenced the choice of which play was to be translated. Moreover, the degree of fidelity to the source text varies, as some are very faithful (written in verse, for example) while others are very free adaptations, and can be described as reinventions or rewritings rather than true translations. In spite of these infinite disparities between the texts considered, it is possible to detect a hierarchy that appears quite early between plays and Spanish authors, with Calderón playing a predominant role.

Golden Age Spanish Theatre

This paper examines the representation of astronomical phenomena, and their astrological interpretation, in the Spanish theatre of the sixteenth century. The idea is not to use the plays as direct sources of information on the practice of astrology and also medicine, as has been previously done by Chevalier, Soufas and Sanchez Granjel.** Instead, I will look at the representation of astrology and its practitioners in theatre plays, considered as a cultural creation of their contemporary society. The first part of this study is focused on the representation of the variety of astrological practitioners, and how they dramatize the contact between academic astrology (taught at the universities) and other non-scholarly astrological practices, usually associated with magic and popular predictions. I also look at the interest of the general public in conventional representations of astrological theories.
