This thesis examines the political and literary reception in Spain of the figure of Pedro Calderon de la Barca, Golden Age playwright, during the years comprising the start of the querella calderoniana until the end of the nineteenth century; a period dominated by the intellectual figure Marcelino Menendez Pelayo. The nineteenth century is characterized by widespread social, political, economic, religious and cultural change, as much as for the development of the intention, on the part of political ideologies in positions of power, to generate a concrete idea of the Nation; in short, a specific way of interpreting Spanish national identify. This changes and the process which followed the configuration of this idea of the nation are recorded in little studied and highly politicized print media of the time, as well as in various verbal polemics maintained over the course of the century. / The study of these has allowed me to demonstrate that the reception of Calderon has been strongly influenced by the presence and interaction of these aspects. As the century progresses, the figure of the playwright becomes increasingly identified with the ideals of the National identify established by political conservatives. / In the first chapter, I analyse what happened in this intellectual conflict contextualizing it ideologically in the calderonian polemics of the eighteenth century, and frame it within relevant events in the formation of national identity. / The next two chapters analyse the development of the querella calderoniana and the subsequent appropriation of Calderon, in one of the darkest moments for the written press in Spain, corresponding with Fernando VII's absolutist regime. This study has been achieved through close readings of various periodicals, literary and ideological discourses of this epoch. / The final chapter concentrates on the conservative appropriation of Calderon effectuated by Menendez Pelayo, one of the most important intellectual figures of nineteenth century in Spain, who attempted to integrate this appropriation with others preceding it. A brief section of conclusions summarizes the theses, followed by a selected bibliography.

La tesis presenta dos partes. La primera sitúa el estudio en sus coordenadas histórico-artísticas. Además, expone los principios teóricos que rigen el posterior análisis textual (Musicología, Semiótica, Retórica, Poética y Literatura Comparada) y sus implicaciones con la Música. La segunda parte constituye el objeto de estudio principal de la tesis: el análisis de los textos de cuatro comedias de Calderón de la Barca insertas en el marco de la Fiesta Teatral barroca: Celos aun del aire matan, La púrpura de la rosa, El laurel de Apolo y El golfo de las sirenas. Centrando nuestra atención en las virtualidades musicales de la escritura calderoniana, defendemos la intencionalidad musical de estas obras ya desde la misma concepción de la historia. Junto a este objetivo fundamental, analizamos otros elementos de la dramaturgia de Calderón: argumentos, temas, tópicos y motivos, estructura dramática, diálogos, personajes, espacio, tiempo y los variados elementos musicales que aparecen. / This Thesis contains two different parts: The first one places the research in its historical-artistic background. Besides, it states the theoretical principles which guide the textual analysis that follows (Musicology, Semiotics, Rhetoric, Poetics and Comparative Literature) and their relation to music.The second part consists of the main purpose of the Thesis research: the text analysis of four plays by Calderón de la Barca belonging to the musical court plays of Baroque Period: Celos aun del aire matan, La púrpura de la rosa, El laurel de Apolo and El golfo de las sirenas. Focusing on the potentalities of the Calderon´s writing, we support the musical intention of these works from the very conception of the plot. Together with this essential aim, we analyze other items of Calderon´s drama: plots, topics, commonplaces and motifs, dramatic structure, dialogues, characters, space, time and all the different musical elements which appear

Among the diverse fabric of masculinities that prestigious authors such as Pedro Calderon de la Barca, Tirso de Molina and Agustin Moreto weave into their plots, fashion proves to be a common thread and a particularly useful tool. Thus, as I approach the idea of "Fashionable Masculinities" and investigate a few "macho" and/or not so "macho men" in Early Modern drama I hope to go beyond the traditional interpretations, stereotypes and icons often associated with men---in particular, Spanish men in Golden Age drama. This will be achieved by revisiting typical cases and compared through research and documentation of atypical representations of maleness that could be considered displacements and/or subversions of the social matrix. In effect, this study explores how the male ideal is shaped and judged both by the essence of his personality, as well as his physical appearance (i.e.: clothing, hairstyle, mannerisms, discourse and voice). As such, it becomes evident that masculinity is moulded, influenced, enhanced, exaggerated and even muted as it is subject to the whim of different fashions prevalent at a specific moment in time. Moreover, a multitude of social, cultural, racial and historical factors determine the always changing image of the so called "macho man". / Therefore, in order to explore distinct representations of masculinity I approach three different comedias by three different playwrights while comparing how the main character's masculinity fared in three very important spaces: physical, social and sexual. I focus my attention on Saber del mal y del bien by Calderon. Secondly, Don Gil de las calzas verdes by Tirso and explored El lindo don Diego by Moreto. Each one the these represents a different degree of palatable male identities given this particular social construct.

La presente tesis consiste en la elaboración de una edición crítica preliminar de la tragedia calderoniana Las tres justicias en una, dada la falta de una edición crítica según los criterios actuales. El primer capítulo se centra en el estudio literario de la comedia, abordando cuestiones como su datación y el debate en torno a su posible composición en colaboración. Asimismo, se examina su pertenencia al género trágico en el marco de la comedia nueva española, y sus principales representaciones y traducciones en los siglos subsiguientes. También se investigan las posibles fuentes utilizadas por Calderón para su composición. El segundo capítulo, por su parte, está dedicado al estudio de la transmisión textual de la comedia. Mediante el cotejo de los testimonios más significativos y el análisis de sus variantes, se determina que el testimonio de Escogidas (E) es el más cercano al arquetipo, que existen dos subarquetipos perdidos y que el testimonio de Vera Tassis presenta una contaminación de E. Por último, en base al stemma obtenido del estudio textual, se presenta en el tercer capítulo la edición crítica de los primeros 166 versos de la comedia, enriquecida con anotaciones lingüísticas y comentarios críticos para su mejor comprensión.

Ce travail prend en considération deux champs disciplinaires: d'un côté on trouve la représentation actuelle du théâtre du Siècle d'Or espagnol, et de l'autre, les nouveaux langages technologiques de la scène contemporaine. Dans la très vaste production du 17e siècle espagnol, cette étude se concentre sur un auteur: don Pedro Calderon de la Barca (1600-1681) ; et parmi ses diverses oeuvres, on choisit comme objet de recherche le texte El Castillo de Lindabridis, (Le Château de Lindabridis, 1661ca). La thèse comprend une analyse théâtrologique qui couvre autant le contexte dans lequel la pièce a été conçue et montée pour la première fois, que l'horizon d'attentes du public d'aujourd'hui. On vise deux objectifs: 1) Caractériser le discours de spectacle de Calderon, qu'on a associé au développement technologique du théâtre au 17e siècle; et 2) Élaborer une proposition dramaturgique du texte, en actualisant sa dimension technologique. À chacun de ces objectifs correspond une des deux parties de la thèse. Ainsi, la deuxième partie, et plus spécifiquement le chapitre de la proposition dramaturgique, se veut une approche théorique nettement théâtrale, qui diverge et s'éloigne des études littéraires, car on décrit la démarche artistique et expérimentale de façon plus technique. Le lecteur devra faire appel aux sens de l'imagination visuelle pour suivre efficacement le contenu. Donc, dans cette recherche on essai d'approfondir l'étude des pièces de spectacle de Calderon à travers des explorations des nouveaux langages scéniques. On offre aussi une manière alternative de rapprocher la production des textes classiques au public contemporain. La richesse de l'oeuvre de Calderon et la nature même du théâtre, un art vivant que se transforme avec le temps selon son public et ses interprètes, fournissent beaucoup de matériel artistique et académique pour poser des nouveaux questionnements et développer des nouvelles possibilités créatives.

If from God’s perspective ‘all the world’s a stage’, theology invites one to think and act according to the view afforded from this height. To speak theologically of a ‘world stage’ as many contemporary theologians have done has required rethinking the Church’s long-established antagonism towards the stage. Of late, theology has opened up academic exchange with the drama’s understanding of ‘the great theatre of the world’. Hans Urs von Balthasar’s theo-drama in particular has given Christians a means for entering into discussion with dramatic forms. Contemporary theological engagements with ‘drama’, however, have been limited to its most literary/metaphorical aspects; less attention has been paid to the potentialities in theology’s exchange with the performance aesthetics of live theatre. Pressed to its logical ends, however, von Balthasar’s idea of a ‘theological dramatics’ and its advances made in contemporary theology, suggest the need for sustained engagement with other modes of dramaturgy, including performance theory and the stage. This thesis attempts to instantiate this theological engagement through the aesthetics of theatrical performance.
