En este trabajo se estudia la relevancia del término gusto y de otros conceptos asociados (razón, imaginación) en el siglo XVIII. Para ello se comienza por aclarar el proceso que conduce desde un ...sentido innato a una idea intelectualizada del gusto, que se convierte en una capacidad adquirida de conocimiento y discriminación. Se analiza, en primer lugar, de qué manera los ilustrados teorizaron para fundamentar su origen en la observación de la naturaleza y, al mismo tiempo, para relacionarlo con la imaginación creadora y con la razón o el saber adquirido. En segundo lugar, se estudia el papel atribuido al gusto en la conformación del juicio crítico y, por extensión, en la crítica literaria. Finalmente se estudia el papel desempeñado por la lectura literaria como instrumento educador del gusto a través de las obras literarias y sus relaciones con la materialización formal del discurso y con la idea del placer estético.
The question of the relation between philosophy and literature is, in the present contribution, approached from the notion of reflexivity as it appears in the thinking of Herder and Gadamer. ...Following up on Gadamer's critique of the Kantian and post‐Kantian idea of the autonomy of art, literature is considered a reflective discourse that at an existential level harvests insights that can be used in a fruitful exchange with philosophy. As an example of the reflexivity of literature, an analysis of Julio Cortázar's short story ‘The Continuity of Parks’ appears at the end of the article.
The aim of this paper is to examine critically Peter Szondi’s literary hermeneutics from the perspective of his “huphainologic” concept, which stems from the Aristotle-inspired poetological character ...of this hermeneutics. In order to perform this task, I seek to answer the question whether Szondi’s text- and scriptocentrism is not a consequence of its neglect of the Jewish exegetical tradition. For the sake of giving an adequate analysis of problems raised by this question, I contrast the occidental, text-centered concept of Revelation with its oriental counterpart based on consonant script. As a next step, in this context, I give an outline of the reading- and interpretation-centred concept of Scripture characteristic of the period of Tannaim, touching upon the topic of middot (the methods or principles used by rabbinical hermeneutics), as well as exploring the dynamic nature and exegetical creativity of the reading- and interpretation-centred approach to Hebrew Revelation.
This article questions the ethical profile of some of the characters in Henry James’s literature in relation to concrete life places and situations. It refers first to the Diary of a Man of Fifty, ...because this short tale anticipates the themes that would dominate James's later works. It focuses in particular on Portrait of a Lady, not without mentioning Daisy Miller, because the descriptions of Italy in those pages help to flesh out the themes that the article wishes to highlight: the encounter between America and Europe (Italy in particular, with Florence and Rome), and the way circumstances determine the moral development of James’s characters. Self-consciousness through conflict with the surrounding world is one of the most vivid topics in James's literature. The personal condition of those who left the USA to settle in Europe became the subject of many of his novels, with all the baggage of incomplete experiences, anxieties and the pain of an integration never fully realized.
The paper presents the Digital Scholarly Edition of Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose characterized since its conception by the dialogue between Digital Philology and Computational Literary ...Criticism in a interdisciplinary perspective called 'IDEA' paradigm (Interpretation, Didactics, Edition, Annotation). By bringing together Authorial Philology, Digital Annotation and Literature Didactics, the IDEA paradigm aims to overcome the objective limitations of publishing contemporary literature content on the Web in open format. The contribution then describes the portal «The Variants of the Rose», a virtual place where to present the critical apparatus of variants encoded in XML-TEI (and visualized through EVT2), some didactic content elaborated with TRAViz, Storymap JS and Timeline JS, the annotation in a Domain Specific Language developed on Euporia and further critical insights elaborated from Franco Moretti's Distant reading and Giuseppe Savoca's Literary Lexicography. Subsequently, a reflection on the modelling of edition, the concept of Extended Edition and the project workflow is presented. Finally, a road map of future content is proposed with a view to the increasing integration of scientific research and the Public Humanities.
Este artículo analiza tres cuentos de Edgar Allan Poe (El demonio de la perversidad, El gato negro y El corazón delator). Estos cuentos tienen en común el tema de la perversidad hacia cuya ...elucidación pretendemos avanzar desde la premisa deleuziana según la cual es preciso volver al espacio literario donde fueron nombradas las perversidades, con el fin de obtener algunas claves de comprensión sobre las causas y consecuencias de la perversidad, así como sobre la naturaleza de estos personajes literarios que, en los tres cuentos citados, se autodefinen como víctimas de esta condición que se encarna en los seres humanos bajo la forma de un demonio. Nos acompañarán en este recorrido los aportes teóricos de Julia Kristeva, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault, François Delaporte y Claude-Olivier Doron.
This article discusses the issue of deconstructing and reconstructing the scriptural principle of the Reformation. As will be shown, such a reconstruction in the light of reader-response-criticism ...requires engagement with the concerns of the classical doctrine of inspiration. It also allows a fresh look at the fact and the hermeneutical problem that there exists a variety of concepts of a Christian canon of the Bible.
In German‐language theology, Professor Ulrich H. J. Körtner's theory of inspiration, as it relates to the Bible reader's perspective, is well known. His attempt to gain fruitful insights from ...contemporary literary hermeneutics while linking them to theological concerns makes his approach a valued yet not uncontroversial example of a reception‐aesthetics twist on the Lutheran sola Scriptura. This article presents Körtner's hermeneutical considerations with special regard to inspiration related to the Bible reader's perspective and shows how this approach may be related to some aspects of the crisis that the Lutheran churches and theology suffer today.
