Ellas son la causa y el fruto de múltiples idas y venidas durante cuatro años, ayudándome a aunar las que son mis tres grandes pasiones: viajar, el estudio y el teatro.1 Si bien los lugares han sido esenciales para definir lo que aquí se recoge, aún más primordial han sido mis compañeros en este viaje, a los que hoy, por fin, toca darles las gracias. Mis primeras gracias son para mi directora de tesis, Clara Calvo. Gracias, Clara, por la confianza depositada en mí estos años. Gracias por propulsar tantos viajes intelectuales. Gracias también a Ángel-Luis Pujante y Vicente Cervera, quienes leyeron una versión preliminar de algunos capítulos y cuyos consejos han sido fundamentales para su mejora. Juanfra Cerdá fue uno de los primeros lectores de la propuesta primigenia y consejero excepcional en todo este proceso.
