Radio Puebla has been extremely quick at uploading the audio recording of Kenneth Brown’s talk of last Friday at the Museo La Celestina (La Puebla de Montalbán). You can listen to it at their official website or below.
While checking if the audio recording was already available, I have noticed that the roundtable on marginality and Celestina of the last Festival Celestina (11/08/2023) is also available at their official website, but you can also listen to it below.
Next Friday, 20th of October of 2023, Kenneth Brown (University of Calgary) will be giving a lecture entitled “El mundo judío y criptojudío de Fernando de Rojas y de su obra La Celestina” at the Museo La Celestina in La Puebla de Montalbán (Spain).
This event is organised by the local journal Crónicas and the cultural association Las Cumbres de Montalbán, who are responsible for organising the academic roundtables and papers within the context the annual Festival Celestina, as well.
La Puebla de Montalbán seems to be progressively increasing the amount of events of celestinesque interest that take place in the Museo La Celestina, so that I would keep an eye on its future activities. It looks like as if the local institutions were actively trying to turn La Puebla de Montalbán into a relevant spot for celestinesque scholars and other people interested in Celestina. Let’s hope I am not wrong!
I just found this short 2019 video of Prof. Em. Fanny Rubio (Universidad Complutense) for the Centro Sefarad-Israel talking about Melibea as a modern woman in Celestina, and I wanted to share it with you. Of interest for people working on converso readings of Celestina and feminist readings of Melibea.
The full audio recordings of the course “La Celestina. Perspectivas hispanosemíticas” given by Francisco Márquez Villanueva in November 1990 can be found at the Multimedia section of the official website of the Fundación Juan March.
