Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies research seminar
Esther Gómez Sierra (The University of Manchester)
Respondent Mary Farrelly (Ph D candidate, Spanish Studies, UoM)
Tirso de Molina's work, and particularly Don Gil de las calzas verdes, explores various complexities of gender and identity by stretching to its limits the trope of 'woman-dressed-as man'. This talk will deal with the textual, performative, and philosophical implications of Tirso’s approach, while locating it in an overarching tradition of mass entertainment; it will also bring up to the debate essential issues such as city living and ongoing problematizations of masculinity.
