«PAR A QUE SE REPRESENTE ESTA COMEDIA APARENTE QUE HACE EL HUMANO SENTIDO»: REPRESENTAR LA COMEDIA HOY PAR A QUE NO SE OLVIDE EL AYER

Abstract

Outside of festivals, the Comedia as a Golden Age cultural product is at risk of becoming an uprooted element in contemporary cul-ture. There are several phenomena against its integrated survival: the deconstruction of the concepts of “own” and “canonical,” the new gener-ations’ lack of identification, and the ethical and aesthetic processes of reworking and proximation. We propose here a didactic and informa-tive task that brings comedy (closer to its original conception) to general audiences through the creation of films in higher education institutions. As part of an educative digital humanities and public humanities proj-ect, these films would integrate an accessible repository of films based on comedies, facilitate interdisciplinary teaching, and provide the edu-cator with expressive means to teach and show the Comedia beyond the paper, in addition to providing students with experience-based learning.
