Description


Identifying, naming, and belonging lend a sense of rational order, a feeling of rootedness within specific societies and eras, yet that order may collapse and threaten to undermine the predictability that ensures stability. As Spain enters only its fifth decade as a fully democratic nation, the country's identity is unfocused and disorganized as it continues to reckon with its traumatic past.


The nine research essays presented in this volume, all on plays authored in the twenty-first century, aim to address the myriad of complex social immediacies that impact Spain in the twenty-first century. Such topics include: non-heteronormative gender identity; "fake news" and how facts are interpreted, withheld, or distorted; female self-agency and authorship; violence against women; and the ongoing need for justice for family histories that have been erased and repressed by Spain's inability to resolve its recent past.



Identificar, nombrar y pertenecer brinda un sentido de orden racional, un sentimiento de arraigo dentro de sociedades y pocas espec ficas, pero ese orden puede colapsar y amenazar con socavar la previsibilidad que asegura la estabilidad. A medida que Espa a entra en su quinta d cada como una naci n totalmente democr tica, la identidad del pa's est desenfocada y desorganizada mientras contin a teniendo en cuenta su pasado traum tico.


Los nueve ensayos de investigaci n presentados en este volumen, todos sobre obras de teatro de autor del siglo XXI, pretenden abordar la mir ada de complejas inmediateces sociales que impactan en la Espa a del siglo XXI. Dichos temas incluyen: identidad de g nero no heteronormativa; "noticias falsas" y c mo se interpretan, ocultan o distorsionan los hechos; auto-agencia y autor a femenina; la violencia contra las mujeres; y la continua necesidad de justicia por las historias familiares que han sido borradas y reprimidas por la incapacidad de Espa a para resolver su pasado reciente.
