Resumen
Publicada en el paso de la Edad Media a la Edad Moderna, de la cultura manuscrita al libro impreso, de la lectura en voz alta a la lectura privada y en silencio, la obra de Rojas permite una lectura «in a changing world where imaginative texts begin more and more overtly to engage in a dialogue with the unconscious. I suggest that Celestina's popularity among sixteenth-century readers resides in its ability to expose the repressed energies at the margins of language and the civilized systems it structures, which Kristeva identifes with feelings of abjection» (p. 491)
