TEATRO Y REFERENTES POÉTICOS CABALLERESCOS EN EL QUIJOTE DE 1615: GAIFEROS Y ALTISIDORA/THEATER AND CHIVALRIC POETIC REFERENCE IN DON QUIXOTE (1615): GAIFEIROS AND ALTISIDORA

This paper studies how the chivalric poetic reference permeates in the 1615 Don Quixote. The author begin highlighting the presence of theater in the Second part of Cervantes' novel, in order to study how, precisely, in this level of fiction within fiction (theater inside a novel), the chivalric reference is decontextualized and resignified. He concludes proving how the chivalric reference is constantly transiting between ontological planes, and accommodates itself to the realities of Cervantes' characters, actualizing itself and changing its meaning continuously.
