La sociedad cambiante: Las obras dramáticas de Paloma Pedrero que reflejan en la época del Franquismo

Indianapolis, IN

Within this research, complex themes ranging from the redefinition of gender roles in modern Spanish theater to the changing dimensionality of metatheater are examined through the lens of Paloma Pedrero's post-Franco regime theatrical works. To contextualize the literary research, the works of La noche dividida, Solos esta noche, and Resguardo personal are examined in relation to the three fundamental concepts of individual identity, freedom of expression, and changing social dynamics. Furthermore, a continual contrast is made between the Franco and Post-Franco eras, thereby, clarifying the expanding social, political, and cultural effects that these dramatic works have had on Spanish society and the theatrical world as a whole. Lastly, the three concepts are then examined as mechanisms within their expanding influence of society, demonstrating the instrumental power they have had in redefining the societal structure after the fall of the Francisco Franco regime.
