- More about Exploring Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Sexuality in Four Spanish Plays: A Crisis of Identity
Exploring Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Sexuality in Four Spanish Plays examines how society influences identity in Spanish theatrical works and compares them to contemporary popular culture. The plays El retablo de las maravillas, Virtudes vencen señales, El público, and La llamada de Lauren explore characters in crisis of identity, with society imposing the construction of identity through external and internal pressures. Beth Bernstein offers a close reading of the psychological struggle of the characters, driven by society to cover their differences with a symbolic mask that will eventually devour their true identity.

Exploring Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Sexuality in Four Spanish Plays delves into the impact of society on identity in Spanish theatrical works, drawing parallels to contemporary popular culture. The plays under examination include El retablo de las maravillas (The Marvelous Puppet Show) by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1615), Virtudes vencen señales (Virtues Overcome Signs) by Vélez de Guevara (1620), El público (The Audience) by Federico GarcÃa Lorca (1929), and La llamada de Lauren (Laurens Call) by Paloma Pedrero (1985). These plays all revolve around characters grappling with identity crises. Employing an eclectic approach, supported by contemporary theories of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality, Beth Bernstein conducts a thorough analysis of the four plays, exploring how society shapes and imposes the construction of identity. As the characters strive to define themselves, internal and external pressures guide their interpretation of acceptable behavior. This book provides a close examination of the psychological struggles of the characters, driven by society to conceal their differences behind a symbolic mask, which, if worn, will ultimately consume their authentic identity.
