La imagen de los negros en el teatro del Siglo de Oro , de Baltasar Fra-Molinero: Una piedra de toque de los estudios teatrales cumple treinta años
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract: This interview with Baltasar Fra-Molinero, author of La imagen de los negros en el teatro del Siglo de Oro (Siglo XXI Editores), contextualizes our reprint of one of its chapters, titled “El negro como objeto de risa: elementos de un estereotipo,” as a touchstone of comedia studies. In so doing, we reflect on the abiding impact of this book in the past three decades and its relevance for our fields today. The conversation was the closing event of an international research symposium titled Africa in Iberia. Memories, Genealogies, and Geographies in Early Modernity, which took place at the University of Arkansas on 2–4 November 2023. In the conversation, Fra-Molinero recounts how he began his academic career and explains the inspirations that launched La imagen de los negros . Along the way, he discusses his subsequent lines of research and the evolution of early modern Black Spanish studies. Baltasar Fra-Molinero also fielded questions from the audience, which we transcribe with their permission. The interview and questions have been edited for clarity and concision.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
