Variaciones del drama historial en Lope de Vega

2013

A partir de la exposición de los fundamentos que subyacen a la investigación presentada, y que la vinculan a otras anteriores, y en los que se aborda el concepto y las características del drama historial en Lope de Vega, el ensayo se centra en la distinción de dos modos fundamentales del drama historial: la conmemoración de hechos históricos famosos, por un lado, y el análisis del conflicto moral, casi siempre de índole privada, que estalla en circunstancias históricas concretas, por el otro. Estas dos grandes estrategias de significación, la propia de la construcción de una memoria colectiva, asociada a la de la identidad de la naciente nación, y la propia de la exploración de la identidad…

The impact of theatrical experiences on young adults in Spain

2018

This study examines how young adults experience theatre and how this activity impacts their personal development. A total of 305 subjects, between 14 and 29 years old, completed the 'Theatre and me' (T&Y) battery of questions. Correlation and variance analysis were conducted considering age and gender. Older subjects reported that participating in drama activities has a greater impact on their lives, helps them to have a greater proclivity to take risks and to be more open-minded. With respect to gender, girls score higher than boys in 'Tolerance to RiskTaking and Commitment', 'Identity and Consciousness', Expression of Feeling' and 'Escape'

Decolonizing Othello in search of black feminist North American identities: Djanet Sears' Harlem duet and Toni Morrison's Desdemona

2017

<p>The plays <em>Harlem duet </em>(1997) by African Canadian playwright Djanet Sears and <em>Desdemona </em>(2012) by Toni Morrison signify upon European texts aiming to carve out a new definition of what it means to be black in North America. Therefore both texts make for interesting reading in the study of (black) identity construction within US and Canadian contexts for, by revising Shakespeare’s <em>Othello</em>, they rethink and rewrite a social and racial reality unrelentingly disrupted by difference and hybridity. Sears’ play establishes a specific reading of Canadianness in dialogue with African America to erect a possibility of healing and …

Face-work in teacher-in-role: Acting at the interface between artistry and pedagogy

2016

The teacher-in-role (TIR) strategy is used in process drama to strengthen the dramatic experience and promote learning among the participants. In this study, one TIR construct is examined through the lens of Erving Goffman’s concept of facework in order to deepen the understanding of the subtle and vulnerable processes of interaction in process drama. TIR is considered to be an interactive construct in which both artistry and pedagogy are embodied. Face-work is applied in the fictive context of process drama to uncover the interactional potential for learning and creating drama. In addition, the teacher’s reflections on his or her actions as they relate to face-work in process drama are exp…
