The novo-hispanic Corpus Christi of 1539. Dramatization of a defeat in three colonial representations

Abstract

Traditionally has been approached the study of evangelist theater or methodological giving individuality to each of these representations, or analyzed from the perspective of the subgenera theater. However, a comparison to dramatizations that shared a given historical context can provide more items for analysis and interpretation. Our hypothesis is that, although most of these representations had a relatively structured and traditional argument, in its articulation colonial New Spain not only permeated the pre-Hispanic indigenous and colonial features but also allow relieving some social practices that were staged by natives and Europeans.
