Conference Announcement

Out of the Wings and 

The Association for Hispanic Classical Theater

First Call for Papers

The comedia: translation and performance

25-28 November 2013

This conference will be held in the Theatre Royal, Bath, England, timed to
coincide with Laurence Boswell’s season of three Spanish Golden Age plays
that will be running in repertory in the Ustinov Studio.

The plays are:

La dama boba

El castigo sin venganza 

Don Gil de las calzas verdes

All three plays will be performed during the conference. Each production
will be the subject of a roundtable discussion between theatre practitioners
and academics.

The conference is designed to sustain and develop the ongoing conversation
between academics, translators and theatre practitioners. Twenty-minute
papers in English are invited on any of the following areas:

·                     La dama boba

·                     El castigo sin venganza 

·                     Don Gil de las calzas verdes

·                     The performance contexts / reception of Spanish Golden
Age Theatre

·                     Translation / adaptation and performance

·                     Comedia translation / performance historiography

·                     The comedia and the trials of the foreign

·                     Comedia Studies: where now?

This list is, of course, not exhaustive or exclusive. But it is anticipated
that the conference will focus on the specific plays as well as on more
general questions of translation, performance and cultural transmission.

A volume of selected essays will be published.

If you wish to present a paper, please send a brief proposal (maximum 250
words) to the conference organisers Susan Paun de García
(garcia at denison.edu) or David Johnston (d.johnston at qub.ac.uk) by 15 December
2012. Proposals will be refereed by a panel. If you wish to be a lead
participant in one of the roundtable discussions, please indicate that by
the same date. 

Notification of acceptance will be given by 15 January 2013.

Conference costs will be kept to a minimum. Details of accommodation in the
Bath area are available at http://visitbath.co.uk/.
