Description

Este libro trata de la atracción de los "Siglos de Oro" por cierta doble configuración de lo monstruoso. This is a book about the obsession of the Spanish Golden Age with the monstrous, and more specifically with the monstrous as structured into a dual image. Este libro explora la atracción de los "Siglos de oro" por lo monstruoso. Varios trabajos recientes ya han arrojado luz sobre la abundante representación de cuerpos excesivos que afloran en los siglos XVI y XVII y que parecen, acaso, reflejar el lenguaje inflado y deformado a través del cual son descritos en la literatura de la época. Sin obviar sus logros, el libro intenta ir más allá para mostrar que lo más sorprendente de la monstruosidad en este periodo no es la manera en que representa un exceso barroco, sino la forma en que el exceso mismo está estructurado en una imagen dual. Muchos de estos "monstruos" (hermafroditas, bicéfalos o licántropos) ostentan un diseño geminado que permanece, de hecho, inexplicado. ¿Qué explica tal anomalía? ¿Cómo contribuirá esta excepción a modelar la imagen misma de lo normal? ¿Qué tiene que ver con la configuración del nuevo cuerpo políticones sociales iban a ser imaginadas, a partir de entonces, en el mundo occidental? Víctor M. Pueyo es profesor titular en el Departamento de Español y Portugués de Temple University. This is a book about theobsession of the Spanish "Golden Age" with the monstrous. Recent research has begun to cast light upon the abundant representation of excessive bodies that mirrors the swelled and deformed language through which they are depictedin early modern literature. Without disregarding its representational approach, the book goes beyond this body of research by arguing that the most surprising element about monstrosity in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries is not the way it represents Baroque excess, but the way excess itself is structured into a dual image. Most of these "monsters" (hermaphrodites, lycanthropes, two-headed creatures) have a geminated form that remains, indeed, largely unaccounted. What explains such an anomaly? How will it shape the rule? What does it have to do with the configuration of the new body politic through which social relations were going to be imagined in the Western World? Víctor Pueyo is associate professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Temple University.
