Abstract The comedies of Luso-Brazilian Antônio José da Silva (1705-1739) - known in the history of literature by the nickname Jewish - have a great diversity of literary and scenic resources, whose primary function, besides causing the spontaneous laughter, is the marvel of the senses of the viewer. Several of these resources, such as disguises and duels - as well as puns and other expedients of language - are components of playful nature; they present features of game. The objective of this project is verify, in the light of studies on the playful developed by historian Johan Huizinga (1872-1945) - and other studies on the relationship between art and playful - the hypothesis that the theater of Antônio José da Silva is characterized as if it were a game that unfolds in competitions loving, verbal and social. The body's primary research will consist of three Jew's operas joco-serious, namely: Esopaida ou vida de Esopo (1734), Os encantos de Medeia (1735) e Guerras do alecrim e manjerona (1737). Each element of this corpus represents, respectively, one of the three main sources of production of theatrical comedy writer: the literary, mythological and historical. (AU) | |
