Resumen
Descripción
Este trabajo pretende argumentar que la concepción luterana y calvinista de la Revelación hace innecesario pensar la imagen como el lugar de lo sagrado. El postulado luterano de la justificación por la fe y el postulado calvinista de la doble predestinación descansan en una forma muy particular de entender la Revelación, que escinde al ser humano en dos dimensiones radicalmente diferentes: la espiritual y la corporal. Esa escisión tiene, a su vez, una distinción gemela: la separación entre lo público y lo privado. Ante ese esquema, la imagen se encuentra en una posición paradójica que solo puede resolverse cuando la experiencia de la imagen se empieza a pensar como una experiencia estética, es decir, autónoma. Esta experiencia se manifiesta en la creación y la apreciación o percepción de la obra.
This paper intends to argue that the Lutheran and Calvinist conception of Revelation makes it unnecessary to understand the image as a place of the sacred. The Lutheran postulate of justification by faith and the Calvinist postulate of double predestination lie in a very particular way of understanding Revelation, which divides the human being into two radically different dimensions, spiritual and bodily. This division has, in turn, a twin distinction: the separation between the public and the private. In view of this scheme, the image is in a paradoxical position and that can only be solved when the experience of the image starts to be conceived as an aesthetic experience, in other words, autonomous. This experience is reflected in the creation and appreciation or perception of the work.
