El personaje de Caupolicán y la alegoría cristológica en La Araucana, auto sacramental atribuido a Lope de Vega

La presencia de las guerras de Arauco en el teatro español del Siglo de Oro constituye una temática muy amplia, circunstancia que se explica, en buena medida, por la existencia de dos prestigiosos modelos épicos: La Araucana de Ercilla y El Arauco domado de Oña. En el teatro, esa materia araucana la encontramos en obras como La belígera española (1616), de Ricardo de Turia; Algunas hazañas de las muchas de don García Hurtado de Mendoza, Marqués de Cañete (1622), de nueve ingenios; Arauco domado (1625), de Lope; La Araucana, auto sacramental de principios del XVII atribuido a Lope; Los españoles en Chile (1655), de Francisco González de Bustos; y El gobernador prudente (1663), de Gaspar de Ávila, títulos a los que cabe añadir El nuevo rey Gallinato, de Andrés de Claramonte (conservada en manuscrito y editada modernamente)

Burlesque Comedy of the Spanish Golden Age: Parody, Nonsense, and Carnival

This paper offers an approach to the main features and conventions of the burlesque comedy of the Spanish Golden Age, a corpus formed by about fifty parodic plays that were performed during Carnival and on St. John’s Day as part of the court festivals celebrated in the Royal Palace or in the Buen Retiro palace complex. These two features (theatre of Carnival and courtier theatre) are the main key when analyzing these plays. The primary function of these pieces is to provoke laughter within the aulic audience —the king and his noblemen. To achieve this goal, authors of burlesque comedies use all of the resources at hand, including both scenic and verbal humor. The plays are marked by an absurd wit, and they bring on stage a carnivalesque world turned upside-down in which everything (including characters, plots, literary motifs, and dramatic conventions) is grotesquely parodied, brutally degraded, and made comical.This paper offers an approach to the main features and conventions of the burlesque comedy of the Spanish Golden Age, a corpus formed by about fifty parodic plays that were performed during Carnival and on St. John’s Day as part of the court festivals celebrated in the Royal Palace or in the Buen Retiro palace complex.
