Together with increased social awareness of gender and identity issues such as gestational loss or the sexual and reproductive rights of people with disabilities, this changing landscape seems to have had a noteworthy impact on contemporary Catalan theatre. Indeed, throughout the long 2010s, a significant number of female-authored plays focused on motherhood premiered in Catalan venues, and a significant portion of these addressed doubtful, fraught, and denied access to motherhood. This essay analyses four important works associated with this trend: Júlia & The Empty Lot (2018) and To Be a Mother (2021) by Clàudia Cedó, Conversations With My Uterus and Other Interlocutors (2018) by Núria Planes Llull, and Stigmas (2019) by Concha Milla. These plays ...

This article focuses on a particular aspect of Ragué’s career: her contributions to the study of contemporary Hispanic and Catalan theatre from a feminist perspective. Following an overview of her intellectual career, this article explores the different aspects of this part of her work: the study of the contemporary rewritings of ancient Greek theatre female characters, the reception of feminist anglophone theatre studies, the analysis of the theatre field from a gender perspective and the understanding of female authorship as a differential value. The ensemble of these contributions represents a pioneer approach to contemporary theatre within the late 20th century Spanish academia and is still current at multiple levels, standing as a referent to claim for the study of the relationships among gender, feminisms, women and theatre in the 21st Century.

Nuestro estudio se basa en la lectura atenta del texto a partir de un sucinto marco teorico compuesto por aproximaciones feministas de la maternidad –esencialmente Federici, Sau, Badinter y Fernandez Pujana– al cual se anade una entrevista personal a la autora. Siguiendo muy de cerca a Federici, el texto de Galan constituye un alegato a favor de la politizacion de los cuidados y contra la actual devaluacion del trabajo reproductivo de las mujeres, bajo la supuesta solucion que constituye la conciliacion. La obra es sintomatica de la aparicion de nuevas tematicas en el mundo teatral a causa de la progresiva incorporacion de las mujeres en los roles de autoria y direccion, asi como su adaptacion lo es de las limitaciones que aun siguen imponiendo el establishment y la omnipresente p...
