Recording: Conference held at the XIX Festival Celestina (25/08/2017)

Unfortunately, in 2017 we forgot to announce the XIX Festival Celestina, which took place from the 19th to the 27th of August of 2017 in La Puebla de Montalbán (official programme here). In order to compensate our readers, here is the paper “Fernando de Rojas, autor de La Celestina” read by Pedro Velasco Ramos at the festival, available on-line:

 

Recording: Conference held at the XVIII Festival Celestina (26/08/2016)

The conference held at this year’s XVIII Festival Celestina is available on-line:

Conocimiento y notoriedad de La Celestina en Francia (in French, with simultaneous translation) – Silvianne Muller (Vert Saint Denis)

Should you also be interested in other events at the festival, they are available at the iVoox website of Radio Puebla as well.

Recording: Conferences held at the XVII Festival Celestina (24 & 29/08/2015)

While I am working on a longer post on Martha García’s Dialogismo teológico: Devotio moderna, “Celestina” & “Quijote”, I wanted to share with you two conferences held this summer at the XVII Festival Celestina (La Puebla de Montalbán, 21st-30th August 2015).

Contexto histórico y personajes de la Celestina – Rodolfo de los Reyes y Pedro Velasco (24/08/2015)

La imprenta en la época de la Celestina – Fermín de los Reyes (29/08/2015)

Apparently the conference “Magia y convivencia de las tres culturas en la España de Rojas” by José Carlos Sheni, programmed for the 26th of August, was cancelled and replaced by a cello concert.

Official programme of the XVII Festival Celestina in La Puebla de Montalbán (21st-30th August 2015)

La Puebla de Montalbán Council has finally made available the official programme for the XVII Festival Celestina, to take place from the 21st to the 30th of August 2015. This year’s topic is still “La España de Rojas” and the adherence to Gilman’s views are particularly noticeable in two of the three conferences programmed, all of them to take place at Museo La Celestina: “Contexto histórico y personajes de la Celestina (Rodolfo de los Reyes and Pedro Velasco, 24th of August, 21:00) and “Magia y convivencia de las tres culturas en la España de Rojas” (José Carlos Sheni, 26th of August, 21:00). The remaining conference sounds promising for someone interested on the History of the Book as myself: “La Imprenta en la época de La Celestina” (Fermín de los Reyes, 29th August, 21:00).

Once again I will not be able to take part in the festival, neither as speaker nor as visitor, therefore, I invite you to send me your impressions, were you to attend it.

Official programme of the XVI Festival Celestina in La Puebla de Montalbán (23rd-31st August 2014)

La Puebla de Montalbán Council has finally made available the official programme for the XVI Festival Celestina, to take place from the 23rd to the 31st of August 2014.

Probably, the event of greatest interest is the perfomance of the Tragicomedia de Calixto y Melibea on Saturday night (Plaza Mayor, 22:30), as the conference of this year seems not to be related directly to a celestinesque topic but, according to the specialisation fields of the speakers, to sephardic music and the “converso” background of Fernando de Rojas.
This confirms my previous intuition on this year’s topic “La España de Rojas” being somehow related to Gilman’s The Spain of Fernando de Rojas, although I am not sure yet, if this has been made on purpose or unintentionally.
