Description: The Theatre of Twenty-First Century Spain / El teatro de Espaa del siglo XXI by Helen Freear-Papio The nine research essays presented in this volume, all on plays authored in the twenty-first century, aim to address the myriad of complex social immediacies that impact Spain in the twenty-first century. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Identifying, naming, and belonging lend a sense of rational order, a feeling of rootedness within specific societies and eras, yet that order may collapse and threaten to undermine the predictability that ensures stability. As Spain enters only its fifth decade as a fully democratic nation, the countrys identity is unfocused and disorganized as it continues to reckon with its traumatic past.The nine research essays presented in this volume, all on plays authored in the twenty-first century, aim to address the myriad of complex social immediacies that impact Spain in the twenty-first century. Such topics include: non-heteronormative gender identity; "fake news" and how facts are interpreted, withheld, or distorted; female self-agency and authorship; violence against women; and the ongoing need for justice for family histories that have been erased and repressed by Spains inability to resolve its recent past.Identificar, nombrar y pertenecer brinda un sentido de orden racional, un sentimiento de arraigo dentro de sociedades y épocas específicas, pero ese orden puede colapsar y amenazar con socavar la previsibilidad que asegura la estabilidad. A medida que España entra en su quinta década como una nación totalmente democrática, la identidad del país está desenfocada y desorganizada mientras continÚa teniendo en cuenta su pasado traumático.Los nueve ensayos de investigación presentados en este volumen, todos sobre obras de teatro de autor del siglo XXI, pretenden abordar la miríada de complejas inmediateces sociales que impactan en la España del siglo XXI. Dichos temas incluyen: identidad de género no heteronormativa; "noticias falsas" y cómo se interpretan, ocultan o distorsionan los hechos; auto-agencia y autoría femenina; la violencia contra las mujeres; y la continua necesidad de justicia por las historias familiares que han sido borradas y reprimidas por la incapacidad de España para resolver su pasado reciente.

Review El presente libro constituye una monografía de candente actualidad en lo que respecta a las temáticas abordadas, ya que el teatro es uno de los territorios más propicios para indagar en las cuestiones identitarias que nos afectan diariamente como país. Por otra parte, combina con mucho acierto la amenidad con el rigor académico, lo cual es importante para recabar audiencias de distintas generaciones, a las cuales se les ofrece una mirada crítica plural que parte de ensayistas de distintas nacionalidades, lo que demuestra el interés que despierta el teatro español fuera de sus fronteras.Otro de los puntos fuertes y originales de la monografía se relaciona con la elección del corpus teatral analizado, así como con el elevado nÚmero de obras de autoría femenina. También es muy certera la variedad y novedad de temas abordados que van desde la identidad de género no binario, la posmemoria, la autoficción, las dialécticas entre las identidades privadas y pÚblicas, o la capacidad de agencia femenina, es decir, un rico abanico que ofrece un retrato completo de cómo España se ha enfrentado y se enfrenta a las inestabilidades de la identidad a través del teatro y los problemas sociales divisorios que interrumpen el progreso tanto en el presente como en el futuro. Dra. Concha Fernández SotoInstituto Provincial de Educacion Permanente, Almeria, SpainThis volume represents an exceptional depth and breadth of scholarship by an international community of highly respected scholars on the cutting edge of contemporary Spanish theater studies. It provides a nuanced analysis of the role of theater in representing and questioning conflicts of identity in contemporary Spain.The combination of playwrights and approaches in these essays addressing the polyphony of identities of contemporary Spain as seen through its theater is unprecedented. Most notably, the unique structure of this volume echoes the thematic thread of its content: one of multidimensionality, inclusion, and plurality of voices. This will appeal to a variety of audiences, such as scholars in Hispanic studies, cultural studies, and modern drama studies, to name but a few. Taken as a whole, this volume provides a critical approach to the question of Spanish identity today, as expressed via the genre of theater - perhaps the most immediate of literary genres with the power to confront these issues. No doubt it will become an oft-referenced source.Prof. Dr. Jerelyn JohnsonDept of Modern Languages and LiteraturesFairfield University Details ISBN1648894801 Language English Year 2022 ISBN-10 1648894801 ISBN-13 9781648894800 Format Hardcover Pages 249 Publisher Vernon Press Series Series in Performing Arts; Bridging Languages and Scholarship Publication Date 2022-09-09 Imprint Vernon Press Place of Publication Delaware Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2022-09-09 NZ Release Date 2022-09-09 US Release Date 2022-09-09 UK Release Date 2022-09-09 Author Helen Freear-Papio Subtitle Identities, Anxieties, and Social Immediacies / Identidades, ansiedades e urgencias sociales Edited by Helen Freear-Papio Audience Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
