Listen "House of Desires: Cloaks, Daggers, and Honor"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, hosts Chase Fowler and Beth Somerville think through implications of genre in relation to Sor Juana's play. They ground their investigation in the roots of Spanish "cape and sword" dramas and the influence of Italian commedia dell'arte and then consider how the concept of honor is received by an audience based on the play's genre. Finally, they turn to some contemporary cultural analogues. Hint: Anybody want a peanut? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
