Resumen
Descripción
El ensayo intenta pensar la respuesta de Flaubert al problema decimonónico de la justificación de la literatura -- A modo de introducción, se presenta esta respuesta en los términos de una religión de la belleza, de la forma o del estilo -- El ensayo va mostrando las distintas modulaciones de la tensión que encierra la fórmula flaubertiana: desde el cruce entre fe y escepticismo, pasando por la manera como sienta las bases para el arranque de las escrituras modernas a partir de una poética del estilo entendido como valor trascendente (Barthes), hasta el modo como prefigura la crisis de su programa al radicalizar la paradoja de la novela (Lukács) en el devenir del eje realista.
This essay is an attempt to reflect upon Flaubert’s answer to the nineteenth-century problem of justifying the existence of literature -- As means of introduction, this answer is presented in terms of a religion of beauty, of form and of style -- This essay shows the different stages through which the inherent tension of the Flaubertian formula evolves: from the relationship between faith and skepticism, through the ways in which set the ground for the departure of modern writing as a poetics of style understood as transcendent value (Barthes), to the way in which he foreshadows the crisis of his own program through the radicalization of the paradox of the novel (Lukács) in the evolution of the realist axis.
