Last chance! The exhibition “Al hilo de Celestina. Tipo, mito, mujer” closes
Due to unexpected schedule modifications, the exhibition “Al hilo de Celestina. Tipo, mito, mujer” will be closing sooner as announced: instead of on the 31st of December 2024, it will finish on the 17th of December, two weeks in advance. This means that today and tomorrow are the last days the exhibition will be open to the public.
La Celestina, un musical joven: Interview
Last week, the 3rd of December 2024, Amaranta Saguar García had the chance to interview the people behind the latest musical adaptation of the Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea, La Celestina. Un musical joven. In a conversation that lasted almost one hour, they talked about how the idea of adapting Celestina to the musical genre was born, how the creative process was and, above all, why Celestina, and not another work.
You can see the full interview –of which an abridged version will appear in the next issue of Celestinesca– in the following video:

CFP: III International Conference of CELPYC (18th-20th of June 2025, Universidad de Cantabria)
The Círculo de Estudios de las Literaturas Picaresca y Celestinesca (CELPYC) has issued the CFP for its 3rd International Conference, which will be taking place in Santander (Spain), at the Universidad de Cantabria, between the 18th and the 20th of June 2025. It can be downloaded here or read at the conference’s official website, section “Circulares”.
This conference is a great opportunity for meeting active researchers in the fields of celestinesque and picaresque literature. The fees are moderate and the different economic circumstances of students, PhD candidates and scholars from the global South have been taken into account, as well. There will also be some travel- and fee-grants for students based at American universities and, for those who cannot afford travelling to Santander, the option of participating on-line is available, which has become unusual in post-COVID19 conferences.
