description |
Pedro Calderón de la Barca's La vida es sueño dramatizes the effects of the demise of the Ptolemaic conception of the universe and its replacement by ideas derived from the Copernican revolution and its effects. The main one was a conception of the cosmos as infinite, which tested the limits of other codes regulating politics and art. Caught in an infinite universe King Basilio and his son, Prince Segismundo, resort to improvisation, the first with disastrous results, and the second by becoming monarch himself at the second try. The Baroque deals with codes that are now known to be empty, such as Ptolemy's organization of the stellar system and classical mythology, which are elaborately deployed to cover their vacuity. |
