Resumo: It’s reasonable to assume that many readers have an idea of a “Donjuanism” derived from other versions and orchestrated by other concerns and eras’ sensitivity. It is amazing to notice that what attracted the interest of writers and audiences from different literary traditions doesn’t match what its first author wanted to address, that is, the compulsive erotomania of a character that paradoxically expresses the inconstancy and the impossibility of love, such an attractive subject to the contemporary mentality, which wasn’t the main subject nor an end in itself but a way to dramatize other concerns such as the impunity of the powerful, Republic’s good government, the corruption of the nobiliary youth and the salvation of souls. In this article I’m going to discuss some aspects of this classic playwriting in order to awaken the lay reader’s interest in its connected themes and the complex intertext, both diachronic and synchronic where inevitably is inserted its interpretation: the Spanish theater of the Golden Age and the sociopolitical context of the time.---Original in Spanish. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2017n43a938.

Sorprende constatar que aquello que atrajo posteriormente el interés de escritores y públicos de diferentes tradiciones literarias no coincida con lo que su primer autor quiso tratar, es decir, que la erotomanía compulsiva de un personaje que expresa paradójicamente la inconstancia y la imposibilidad de amar, asunto tan atractivo para la mentalidad contemporánea, no fuera una pieza original ni el tema vertebral ni un fin en sí mismo, sino un medio para teatralizar otras preocupaciones como la impunidad del poderoso, el buen gobierno de la república, la corrupción de los jóvenes nobles y la salvación de las almas. En este artículo comentaré algunos aspectos de este clásico de la dramaturgia, con el propósito de despertar en el lector no especializado el interés por sus temas conexos y el complejo intertexto, tanto sincrónico como diacrónico, en el que inevitablemente se inserta su interpretación: el teatro español del Siglo de Oro y el contexto sociopolítico de la época.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------O BURLADOR DE SEVILHA, DON JUAN ANTES DO MITOÉ plausível supor que muitos leitores possuam uma ideia do dom-juanismo derivada de outras versões e orquestrada na sensibilidade de outras preocupações e épocas. Assombra constatar que aquilo que atraiu posteriormente o interesse de escritores e públicos de diferentes tradições literárias não coincida com o que seu primeiro autor quis tratar, isto é, que a erotomania compulsiva de um personagem que expressa paradoxalmente a inconstância e a impossibilidade de amar, assunto tão atrativo para a mentalidade contemporânea, não foi na peça original nem o tema vertebral nem um fim em si mesmo, senão um meio para teatralizar outras preocupações como a impunidade do poderoso, o bom governo da república, a corrupção da juventude nobiliária e a salvação das almas. Neste artigo comentarei alguns aspectos deste clássico da dramaturgia, com o fim de despertar no leitor não especializado o interesse por seus temas conexos e o complexo intertexto, tanto sincrônico quanto diacrônico, em que inevitavelmente se insere sua interpretação: o teatro espanhol do Século de Ouro e o contexto sociopolítico da época.---Artigo em espanhol. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2017n43a938.Universidade Federal Fluminense2017-08-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/3349910.22409/gragoata.v22i43.33499Gragoatá; Vol. 22 No. 43 (2017): Founding Texts and their Literary and Cultural Productivity; 809-836Gragoatá; v. 22 n. 43 (2017): Textos Fundadores e sua Produtividade Literária e Cultural; 809-8362358-41141413-907310.22409/gragoata.v22i43reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33499/19486Copyright (c) 2017 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessZamorano Heras, Miguel Ángel2019-08-23T11:10:42Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33499Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2019-08-23T11:10:42Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
