La producción intelectual de Josefina Plá abarca numerosas disciplinas, de las cuales el teatro, en su dimensión escénica y literaria, ha quedado ensombrecido por su obra poética y narrativa. Este libro reconstruye su labor teatral como crÃtica, historiadora, directora, docente y dramaturga desde su arraigo en Paraguay tras la guerra civil española. Tal investigación permite plantear que el espÃritu renovador de Plá puede entenderse como un motor para la desconfiguración insular de Paraguay, espacio asociado tradicionalmente al tópico insular. AsÃ, mientras el paÃs guaranà saltaba a la escena internacional con narradores que escribÃan desde el exilio como Gabriel Casaccia y Augusto Roa Bastos, algunos intelectuales insiliados, como Plá, contribuyeron a cuartear el hermetismo cultural impuesto por el stronismo. Entre otros logros, se destaca el papel de Plá al frente de la Escuela Municipal de Arte Escénico y su influencia en la constitución del teatro paraguayo independiente. Por otra parte, la recuperación y análisis de veintitrés obras teatrales inéditas construyen el corpus dramático más completo que existe de Josefina Plá hasta el momento y revelan a una dramaturga excepcional, que se movió en el campo de la expresión libre adaptándose a las tendencias estéticas más contemporáneas. El valor de esta autora nace del lugar simbólico desde el que lee el mundo, como española exiliada republicana e insiliada paraguaya. Su poliédrica propuesta intelectual, entendida como un diálogo transnacional entre España y Paraguay, invita, por lo tanto, a derribar mitos, revisar cánones y reescribir una historia cultural compartida.
La canaria Josefina Plá, poeta, ensayista, narradora, autora dramática, pedagoga teatral y directora de escena, fue una figura clave en la vida cultural, literaria y escénica del Paraguay. Sin embargo, su trayectoria vital y artÃstica es prácticamente desconocida en España. Este libro monográfico de Yasmina Yousfi López reconstruye con rigor documental y claridad expositiva la obra de creación y de crÃtica de esta mujer injustamente olvidada que contribuyó decisivamente a la renovación de la escena paraguaya.
--Manuel Aznar Soler, Catedrático emérito de literatura española contemporánea de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
A partir de la recuperación de más de una veintena de obras inéditas y de la compilación de crÃticas y noticias publicadas a lo largo de medio siglo, este libro constituye la primera investigación orgánica sobre la labor teatral de Josefina Plá en Paraguay: tanto su dramaturgia como su praxis teatral son exhaustivamente analizadas con el fin de recuperar a una mujer fundamental para entender el exilio de 1939. Además, pone en valor el teatro paraguayo en el marco de la literatura latinoamericana.
--Diego Santos Sánchez, Profesor del Departamento de Literaturas Hispánicas y BibliografÃa de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid
