Pedro Klimovsky. “El artículo realiza una comparación entre el film de Eliseo Subiela y la novela “K- pax” cuyos derechos fueron vendidos a Hollywood [sic: NO fueron vendidos]. A través de una investigación minuciosa y original demuestra que se trata de un plagio, más allá de no haberse podido demostrar en los tribunales. En este sentido el texto da cuenta de las formas y los detalles de un proceso de apropiación indebida del trabajo y la creatividad dentro del
49
ámbito cinematográfico. Con vistas a la publicación el trabajo debe ampliar la cuestión del plagio desde un punto de vista teórico y regularizar la escritura que fluctúa entre la tercera persona en los momentos descriptivos y la asunción de la primera persona en algunas acotaciones. Resulta pertinente mantener la tercera persona a lo largo de todo el texto.”

This must be another reason it seems as timely as ever. He also credits Jean Cocteau as a significant influence. Soto is heard in a 1993 interview shortly before his death from AIDS, a fact lending more retrospective melancholy to its image of a man alienated from society and its definitions of madness and malady. […] The bonus interviews with Subiela, Soto and De Angelis are very informative and not just gushing about how wonderful everyone was. There's also a booklet essay by Nancy J. Membrez, who has written about Subiela's entire career from his acclaimed TV commercials to his features.

Membrez, tras analizar algunas definiciones acerca este concepto como la recogida en el Diccionario de María Moliner, que incidía en la existencia previa de un ejemplar de una serie con unas cualidades puras y en su más alto grado, o la incluida en el DRAE, que cargaba las tintas sobre su condición modélica y significativa, manifestaba cierta disconformidad con ambas. Para ella, estos acercamientos son insuficientes al insertar el concepto dentro del costumbrismo, ya que el tipo no es algo tan superficial como muchos piensan [1994: 76].” (p. 306). “Al respecto, Membrez ahondaba en la idea de que, pese a los bocetos previos, la auténtica “tipomanía” o “manía popular de la descripción pormenorizada y ligera de los tipos sociales” surgió con el costumbrismo decimonónico [1994: 75].” (p. 307). “Solo la taquilla consiguió abrirles los ojos cuando los espectadores comenzaron a decantarse por otros divertimentos [Membrez, 1994: 88].” (p. 308).

Las obras vienesas serían despojadas para ello de sus inherentes componentes satírico y crítico para con la nobleza y las clases superiores, pasando así a tener en nuestro país un carácter meramente evasivo y autocomplaciente.

Elena Palacios Gutiérrez. “El teatro cómico de Enrique García Álvarez”. Tesis doctoral.
Universidad Complutense de Madrid (2016). Advisor: Javier Huerta Calvo. “No debemos olvidar tampoco que, por esta época, aparecen varios volúmenes dedicados al estudio del género chico. Entre ellos destaca el de Nancy Membrez, The “Teatro por horas”: History, Dynamics and Comprenhensive Bibliography of a Madrid Industry (1867-1922), monumental obra que se adentra en diversos aspectos de este tipo de manifestaciones dramáticas y que por ello trae a colación la figura de García Álvarez en numerosas ocasiones. Incluye además una bibliografía específica del autor [1987].” (p. 22). Also referenced in Footnote p. 40. “A partir del significado recogido en la RAE en 1914, que se refiere a él como una canción “alegre y festiva”, Membrez argumenta que originalmente nació en los cafés teatro y cafés concierto en torno a 1840 con esta pretensión, y que después fue modificándose. Para la investigadora, tiene sus antecedentes más inmediatos en la alta comedia, ya que mientras que el sainete enfatizaba en las clases más bajas, el juguete era la expresión en prosa y en un acto de los burgueses españoles [1987: 346-347].” Y luego en la misma página: “Cuando en la segunda década del siglo XIX [el juguete cómico] empezó a desarrollarse en dos o tres actos, divergía de la comedia por la intención, menos grave, que el autor ponía en él [Membrez, 1987: 348].” (p. 96). Sobre el astracán: “Después, Jardiel Poncela y Miguel Mihura tomaron el relevo, pero desde otra estética [Membrez, 1987: 351].” (p. 101). “En la práctica, de poco sirvió la conjura para un público que acudió a la cita y la aplaudió sin reparo [Membrez, 1987: 352].” (p. 102). “Desde casi los orígenes del teatro español las designaciones de paso, entremés y sainete se suceden y conviven simultáneamente para hacer referencia al mismo tipo de trabajos jocosos [Membrez, 1987: 330].” (p. 104). “Ricardo de la Vega no estaba dispuesto a tolerar esta similitud entre su obra y el “genuino populacho español” [Membrez, 1987: 331-333].” (p. 105) “Pedro Muñoz Seca distorsionaba con su astracanada el sentido del sainete al dividirlo en dos y tres actos [Membrez, 1987: 335-336];” (p. 107). “La primera [revista] que se cita es la titulada 1864-1865, de José Gutiérrez de Alba, de 1864 [Membrez: 1987: 361].” (p. 112). “Pese a ser muy popular, la revista pronto empezó a deteriorarse. Para intentar evitarlo se introdujo una mayor frescura en la vestimenta femenina y, lentamente, fue acercándose a las variedades [Membrez, 1987:367].” (p. 114). Footnote p. 117: “No contamos con una bibliografía

demasiado específica sobre el pasillo. Para indagar sobre sus orígenes puede acudirse a los estudios de Canet [1992] y González Ollé [1996] que acompañan a sus ediciones de los Pasos de Lope de Rueda. Para el pasillo son interesantes los epígrafes correspondientes contenidos en los estudios sobre el género chico de Membrez [1987] o Espín Templado [1995a, 2008].” “Fue a raíz de la muerte del primero [Salvador María Granés], en 1911, cuando [la parodia] entró en decadencia [Membrez, 1987: 379].” (p. 125). “Las situaciones, la acción y los momentos de mayor tensión se ridiculizan. La música experimenta el mismo proceso, tanto en su melodía como en sus cantables. Normalmente, el original, en varios actos, sufre un proceso de reducción, debido a que los mecanismos burlescos no se mantienen por encima de una hora y han de concentrarse en estructuras más breves [Membrez, 1987: 381-387].” (p. 125). “Si bien desde los orígenes del teatro el vehículo de expresión preferente fue el verso, a finales del siglo XVIII este comenzó a ceder paso a la prosa. El siglo XIX supuso cierta vuelta a la estrofa, que poco a poco volvió a decaer a mitad de la centuria, pues la prosa se ajustaba más a la intención realista y a las cuestiones morales y sociales [Membrez, 1987: 147].” (p. 140). “En general, se recurría a rimas bastante libres, con combinaciones casi imposibles que respondían a la necesidad de acoplar determinadas palabras y producir comicidad, con el consiguiente peligro que suponía para los autores caer en el ripio y ser criticados por ello [Membrez, 1987: 147-149].” (p. 140).

He cites my diss. in Footnote 26: “There are two scholars who have studied the teatro por horas exhaustively and are the logical starting point for looking at this type of theater. The first is María Pilar Espín-Templado, whose El teatro por horas en Madrid (1870-1910) (Madrid: Instituto de Estudios madrileños) gives an excellent summary of the phenomenon; this is a shorter version of her more comprehensive dissertation on the same subject, “El teatro por horas en Madrid (1870-1910) (Subgéneros que comprende, autores principales y análisis de algunas obras representativas)” (Tesis doctoral: Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 1986). For an exhaustive study in English—which manages to encompass not only the teatro por horas but early film as well—see Nancy J. Membrez, “The teatro por horas: History, Dynamics and Comprehensive Bibliography of a Madrid Industry, 1867-1922”, (Ph.D. Dissertation: University of California, Santa Barbara, 1987). My brief summary draws on both these works.” He cites

my diss. on 156 and Footnote 10: “Much of my summary is drawn from Membrez’s outline, although I do feel she perhaps overstates the political conservatism of these writers as a whole.” A surprising conclusion since Marie Sagues doesn’t think I painted one of the authors of this same group conservative enough!

En 1995 la profesora Espín Templado le dedicó un capítulo de su libro en el que estudia también el teatro por horas. Pero dado que dicha monografía está delimitada en el tiempo (1870-1910), no recoge el que sería el período de expansión y posterior esplendor del subgénero, cuya culminación será la España de la II República. No obstante, el estudio de la profesora Espín Templado es de gran interés para conocer los orígenes del subgénero y su especial trayectoria futura, disímil de la europea y norteamericana. También lo es el capítulo a ella dedicado en la tesis de la investigadora norteamericana Nancy Membrez, aunque la amplitud de los temas tratados impide profundizar en el que nos ocupa.” (21) Also 65 (bibliography).
