El teatro francés de tema mitológico en España (1920-1950). Recepción y traducción

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse the common thread between the adaptation or reinterpretion of Greco-Roman myths and the reception process through translations. All these concepts are influenced by the nature of reading activity, by the prevailing ideological canons and also by passage of time. These parameters decisively map out the nature of adaptations, reinterpretations and translations. In order to study the differences and similarities between these concepts we have selected the time span between the two world wars and a specific literary tradition: the french mythological theatre. The politic situation and the philosophical theories mark the nature of this literary genre, particularly on the works of Giraudoux, Anouilh, Sartre or Camus. The reception of these authors in Spain will be accurately described in the empirical chapter and the conclusions focus on the future perspectives from the point of view of the publishing industry and the performing acts.
