O risco do século XVI: a corte manoelina e o teatro de Gil Vicente

Abstract

Research that want to remove Gil Vicente s theater from a more obscurantist period, "late Gothic", to put it among the great changes occurred in Europe during the sixteenth century, more specifically, the artistic and cultural Renaissance. From a textual criticism of contemporary authors such as Nicholas of Cusa and Martin Luther, or literature of classical Greece as Plato and Aeschylus, we can approache the Vincentian theater and the classical sources of literature at the same time, for a review of certain currents hegemonic analysis in literature, as the current existentialism and psychoanalysis. This move away his theater from the obscur criticism actually and puts it on light. With the correct approach, we can see Gil Vicente in the midst of the great movements of change in the Mediterranean civilization in the sixteenth century.
