Calderón y los géneros dramáticos, con otras cuestiones anejas: honor, amor, legitimación política y autoridad de las taxonomías.

The article reflects on some aspects related to the generic taxonomy of the Calderonian theatre, and discusses some examples of particular plays (especially Calderón's No hay cosa como callar) within the framework of the conventions of the various tragic or comic genres. In order to achieve a better understanding of Golden Age theatre, and particularly of Calderon's work, the definition of genre has to be conceived of as a two-way road, correcting the structural concepts by means of analyses of particular plays, and taking into account funcional conventions as well as reception issues. The huge extension of the Golden Age theatre corpus and the complexity of Calderonian plays create difficulties that cannot be ignored about taxonomies and their limits, as well as about models and their evolution.
