Resumen
Descripción
El artículo aborda el potencial que ofrece la filosofía para la renovación de los presupuestos críticos manejados por la teoría literaria indagando en dos aspectos fundamentales. Por un lado, cuestiona que la identificación de la filosofía con la literatura auspiciada por la deconstrucción excluya otras formas de relación entre sus respectivos ámbitos competenciales. Por el otro, propone una forma de hacer productiva la filosofía para la teoría que pasa no tanto por la ampliación de los referentes textuales ya consagrados por la poética como por la plena exploración de sus contextos originales. En lugar de promover la especulación en torno a nuevas referencias filosóficas, se trata de devolver esas referencias a sus entornos textuales de procedencia para obtener nuevas implicaciones de antiguas formulaciones teóricas.
This paper addresses the potential of philosophy to renew the critical assumptions of literary theory by examining two key aspects. On the one hand, it challenges the belief that the identification of philosophy with literature, promoted by deconstruction, implies the exclusion of other forms of relationship between their respective fields of expertise. On the other hand, it proposes a way to make philosophy productive for theory which involves not so much the expansion of the textual referents already established by Poetics but rather the full exploration of its original contexts. Instead of promoting speculation around new philosophical references, what is at issue here is to restitute these references to their original textual environments in order to derive new implications from ancient theoretical formulations.
