- Abstract:
- This paper focuses on female subjectivity in order to expand on how disempowered women protagonists in the comedia recover thier sense of agency under new contemporary readings. Specifically, since the passing of domestic violence legislation in 2004, a new wave of comedia adaptations have resorted to the symbolic capital of early modern classics to raise awareness of women's misrepresentation and gender violence. I evaluate this historical revisionism as a socio-cultural phenomenon that is increasingly entrenched in contemporary Spanish theater.
