CANCELLED - Calderón y el deporte sacramental: la Loa del juego de la pelota
Santiago Fernández Mosquera, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela
Spanish playwright Calderón de la Barca (1600-1681) used the
juego de la pelota (Jeu de paume) as a very effective strategy to explain the doctrinal essence of his auto sacramental
La cura y la enfermedad. His aim was to capture the audience's attention and to persuade the less pious spectators with a brief introductory piece on a very appealing pastime. The lecture examines the social, doctrinal and courtly values of this little-known
Loa.
