DUNNE, Jörg. "Ya la comedia es un mapa": Cervantes y la teatralización del espacio geográfico. Olivar [online]. 2012, vol.13, n.17, pp.33-54. ISSN 1852-4478.

The article is concerned with an analysis of how the Spanish Golden Age comedy and the staging of geographical space are related. The example of a "comedia de santos" by Miguel de Cervantes, El Rufián dichoso, will show that its author, like Shakespeare or Lope de Vega, introduces a predominantly geographical meaning into the traditional topos of the theatrum mundi; moreover, he uses the theatre scene and maps for constituting other spaces that cannot be visualized directly and that might be called "metageographical" spaces. Thus, Baroque literature opens the way for a new technique of spatial imagination.

Palabras clave : Miguel de Cervantes; Baroque comedy; Geographical space; Cartography; Theatrum mundi.
