Shakespeare: sexualidad y orden social
El patriarcado renacentista inglés prescribe un férreo control de la sexualidad legítima y marginal con el fin d mantener el orden social. Los dramaturgos ingleses, especialmente Shakespeare, contribuirán con su producción al desmoronamiento del puritanismo -de inspiración calvinista-, detractor a ultranza del teatro, en el que se intuye el origen de todo tipo de corrupción e incitación a la lujuria. A pesar de que el Estado y la Iglesia cuentan con agentes e instrumentos para salvaguardar el orden, surgen, como signos de un tiempo nuevo, elementos tendentes a desestabilizarlo. Bartolomé Sanz Albiñana, es catedrático de Inglés y doctor en Filología Inglesa por la Universidad de Alicante. Es investigador independiente y autor de La expresión de la sexualidad en las traducciones españolas de Hamlet (2013) y de De la Escuela Industrial al IES Cotes Baixes-Alcoi. Cronología contextualizada y apuntes para la historia de un centro centenario (2014). Escribe artículos de opinión en diversos medios. En la actualidad su área de interés se centra en Shakespeare y religión.
Shakespeare and the Visual Arts
Critical investigation into the rubric of 'Shakespeare and the visual arts' has generally focused on the influence exerted by the works of Shakespeare on a number of artists, painters, and sculptors in the course of the centuries. Drawing on the poetics of intertextuality and profiting from the more recent concepts of cultural mobility and permeability between cultures in the early modern period, this volume’s tripartite structure considers instead the relationship between Renaissance material arts, theatre, and emblems as an integrated and intermedial genre, explores the use and function of Italian visual culture in Shakespeare’s oeuvre, and questions the appropriation of the arts in th...

Oedipus at Colonus and King Lear: Classical and Early Modern Intersections
The story of King Lear seems to fill in the blank space separating the end of Oedipus Tyrannus and the beginning of Oedipus at Colonus. In both Oedipus at Colonus and the latter part of King Lear we are presented with an old man who was once a King and, following his expulsion from his kingdom on account of a crime or of an error, is turned into a ‘no-thing’. This happens in the time of the division of the kingdom, which is also the time of the genesis of intraspecific conflict and, consequently, of the end of the dynasty. This collection of essays offers a range of perspectives on the many common concerns of these two plays, from the relation between fathers and sons/daughters to madness and wisdom, from sinning and suffering to ‘being’ and ‘non-being’ in human and divine time. It also offers an overarching critical frame that interrogates questions of ‘source’ and ‘reception’, probing into the possible exchangeability of perspectives in a game of mirrors that challenges ideas of origin.
