scholarly journals María Zambrano y la novela: una nueva forma de conocimiento

Author(s):  
Adolfo Sotelo Vázquez

Este trabajo analiza, por una parte, el realismo narrativo de Benito Pérez Galdós a la luz de los clásicos españoles que le sirven de referencia, de autores como Dickens, Balzac o Zola, y de la compañía crítica de Leopoldo Alas, Clarín. Por otra parte, se detiene en las reflexiones de María Zambrano sobre el novelista canario para mostrar tanto la distancia que guardan en relación con Ortega, como su cercanía a otros autores (Menéndez Pidal —y el Centro de Estudios Históricos—, Américo Castro, entre otros). El trabajo concluye con la idea de que la lectura que Zambrano realiza de Galdós apunta a un pensamiento sobre la historia esencial y sobre la novela (en su forma realista) como forma de conocimiento, cuestiones que Zambrano ve desplegadas con especial sabiduría en la escritura del autor de Fortuna y Jacinta, novela especialmente querida por Zambrano, junto a Misericordia.

L’analisi si centra sugli scritti di Zambrano dedicati all’opera di Benito Pérez Galdós Misericordia e mette in luce l’uso che la pensatrice fa del romanzo quale fonte alternativa per la scrittura di una storia non egemonica, attenta alla presenza delle vite «minuscole». Da questa prospettiva si rileva la prossimità di Zambrano con alcune linee di ricerca sviluppatesi all’interno della storiografia femminista degli anni ’80 e ‘90, e in particolare con la critica alla storia monumentale proposta da Françoise Collin in un saggio del 1993, in cui la grande pensatrice belga propone una rilettura della storiografia a partire dalla distinzione tra la marca e la traccia.

María Zambrano and the Chimera During her career as a philosopher, writer and thinker, María Zambrano once and again portrayed literature as a special space for her research. In that sense, she investigated the principal traits belonging to the razón poética in several genres such as poetry and fiction. The purpose of the following pages is to investigate the way in which she read and recreated literary works chiefly by Miguel de Cervantes and Benito Pérez Galdós. Her literary criticism is anchored to metaphoric symbolism. One of her most recurrent symbols is the chimera. The chimera becomes an indispensable and ambiguous image in her analysis of Don Quixote and Misericordia. Key Words: María Zambrano, Literary Criticism, Razón Poética, Cervantes, Pérez Galdós

The article studies the reflection of Carlist and ‘Liberal’ mythological concepts, formed in 1830s– 1890s in Spain, in the novel Zumalacárregui by Benito Pérez Galdós. There is given a brief overview of some previous research works concerning Galdós´s National Episodes and the novel Zumalacárregui. The paper focuses on the ways of representation of general Tomás de Zumalacárregui (1788–1835) in the novel and shows the processes of creating the myths related to the general. In the 19–20th centuries, Zumalacárregui became a hero for the representatives of three different ideologies: Carlism, Francoism, and Basque Nationalism. It is shown that mythologization of the general began just after his death in 1835. Based on the text of the novel, there are made conclusions concerning the sources that Galdós used when creating it. The writer studied the most relevant memoirs about the First Carlist War. The paper shows how Galdós’s text was influenced by the memoirs of A. Sabatier, Ch. F. Henningsen, F. von Lichnowsky, J. A. Zarátiegui, F. Fernández de Córdoba, and H. Du-Casse. It is also noted that Galdós could have been inspired by some pictures created in the traditions of ‘Carlist visual art’. It is concluded that the writer used both Carlist and ‘Liberal’ myths concerning Tomás de Zumalacárregui. The text of the novel is divided into two parts, ‘historical’ and ‘narrative’. The ‘historical part’, i. e. a general description of the First Carlist War military operations carried out in 1834–1835, is mainly based on Carlist sources. In this part, the general Zumalacárregui is described as a war hero. The ‘narrative part’ mainly refers to ‘Liberal’ sources. The author introduced in this part a fictional character, priest José Fago, being the general’s ‘double’. Through Fago’s moral doubts and hesitations Galdós showed the internal tension of Zumalacárregui.
