En este artículo, se examina la concepción adorniana del material musical en la obra de Stravinsky y el análisis del mito que hace el filósofo René Girard en La Consagración de la Primavera. La aproximación teórica desde la concepción girardiana del sacrificio permite reexaminar la obra de Stravinsky y el significado del impacto de escenificar el asesinato fundacional, a inicios del siglo XX. La estructura de la violencia sacrificial que expone Girard expande el análisis de la obra del compositor ruso ofreciendo una lectura antropológica del hecho artístico. De este modo, el horizonte crítico que abre el pensamiento girardiano apuntala una contextualización de la obra que va más allá de una postura respecto a la sedimentación del material musical.

Medios De Comunicacion

En el artículo se describe la caracterización de Joaquín Edwards Bello de los medios de comunicación masiva chilenos a través de su novela El Roto (1920). El análisis pretende resumir los rasgos del campo periodístico y literario chileno durante las primeras décadas del siglo XX, según la versión literaria del autor y la revisión de la crítica literaria, histórica y comunicológica sobre la época. Como procedimiento, se seleccionan las escenas de interés (aquellas que se desarrollan físicamente en los periódicos o donde los personajes leen) para identificar a los agentes lectores. Luego, se analizan los comportamientos de dichos personajes desde la perspectiva de la teoría de la comunicación (en particular, según los postulados de la teoría hipodérmica, de usos y gratificaciones y la teoría social de la comunicación). Se concluye que, en la obra, los personajes priorizan la lectura de la prensa sobre la lectura de libros; esta práctica actúa como agente productor de deseo en base a modelos a imitar; es decir, en palabras de René Girard en Mentira Romántica y verdad novelesca (1963), deseo mimético.

René Girard

René Girard’s work often seems suspect to liberals, because it appears as a totalizing narrative. Such hesitancy with respect to either dismissing or endorsing it follows from the demise of “grand narratives” that brought with them imperialistic and hegemonic tendencies. Yet if a liberal viewpoint does not embrace Girard, it is for different reasons that conservatives are either fully supportive of his thought as promising a return to religious values or hesitant about accepting his theories because they critique a form of violence inherent to any community. Girardian thought, it can be argued, has focused on deconstructing mythological justifications for violent activity at the expense of establishing a fruitful position regarding positive communal formations. The tensions between these juxtaposed liberal and conservative viewpoints, as taken up in this article, illustrate an impasse between deconstructivist-genealogists (representing trends within liberal discourse) and communitarians (representing conservative or orthodox viewpoints)—one that shows up in a variety of contexts today. Highlighting this particular standoff in interpretations of Girard can, nevertheless, yield important insights regarding the ultimate significance of his work.

Religious Perspectives

To shed new light on the place of Christianity in seventeenth-century Chinese society and the debates and conflicts between Christians and Buddhists, this paper reflects on Christians' critiques of Buddhist dogma and praxis as well as rejoinders from the Buddhists. It will focus on the sustained debates, roughly between 1590 and 1690, with regard to the relative ‘merits and defects’ as represented in polemical texts. Several treatises serve as the essential link of the continuous debates, eliciting back-and-forth elaboration and rebuttals from both sides. Through an analysis of the polemical discourse, I argue that the Buddhist–Christian case offers an instance of what René Girard termed ‘mimetic rivalry’. The conflict entails internal rivalry resulting not only from different religious perspectives but also from social, cultural and economic ones. Seeking interconnectedness between traditions by creative imagination and analogy may offer a way out of ignorance and enmity in dealing with interreligious relationship. 1
