Resumo: | Edgar Allan Poe’s short story "William Wilson" develops the theme of the Double, also known as Doppelgänger. This article investigates the tale’s motif and its implications concerning the questions of subjectivity and image in the XIXth century. The modern obsession with the evil shadows resonates some uncertainties introduced in European thought, such as the crisis of the identity model inherited from Platonism, the human figure’s deformation, the emergence of psychoanalysis. In short, it highlights the threat of the corrosion of the self’s supposed unity. It relates this topic to Deleuze’s and Nietzsche’s anti-metaphysical perspectives on the simulacra and the mask and analyses some passages of Poe’s tale which emphasizes the “power of the false” and suspends some Platonic inheritances. |

La obsesión con las sombras del mal en la época moderna refleja algunas incertidumbres introducidas en el pensamiento europeo, como la crisis del modelo de identidad heredado del platonismo, la deformación del hombre, la aparición del psicoanálisis. Evidencia, en suma, la fuerza de la amenaza a la cohesión del yo. El artículo relaciona este tema las perspectivas anti-metafísicas del simulacro y de la máscara propuestas por Deleuze y Nietzsche, además de analizar algunos pasajes del cuento de Poe, que enfatizan la "potencia de lo falso" y suspenden algunas herencias platónicas del mundo occidental.Partindo do conto "William Wilson", de Edgar Allan Poe, o artigo explora o tema do Duplo e seus desdobramentos nos campos da subjetividade e da imagem no século XIX. A obsessão pelas sombras perversas no período moderno repercute certas incertezas instauradas no pensamento europeu, tais como a crise do modelo de identidade herdado do platonismo, a deformação da figura humana, a emergência da psicanálise. Evidencia, em suma, a força da ameaça à coesão do eu. Como eixo investigativo, busca-se relacionar o tema ao gesto antiplatônico e à filosofia antimetafísica, expressos nas leituras do simulacro e da máscara efetuadas por Deleuze e Nietzsche. Propõe-se explorar trechos do conto que ressaltam a potência do falso e colocam em suspeição certas heranças platônicas no Ocidente.ABEC2016-04-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.e-compos.org.br/e-compos/article/view/125510.30962/ec.1255E-Compós; Vol. 19 No. 1 (2016)E-Compós; Vol. 19 Núm. 1 (2016)E-Compós; v. 19 n. 1 (2016)1808-2599reponame:E-Compósinstname:Associação Nacional dos Programas de Pós-Graduação em Comunicaçãoinstacron:ANPPCporhttps://www.e-compos.org.br/e-compos/article/view/1255/878Ferraz, Maria Cristina FrancoCarvalho, Louise Ferreirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-06-11T12:24:08Zoai:ojs.www.e-compos.org.br:article/1255Revistahttps://www.e-compos.org.br/e-compos/PUBhttps://www.e-compos.org.br/e-compos/oairevistaecompos@gmail.com1808-25991808-2599opendoar:2021-06-11T12:24:08E-Compós - Associação Nacional dos Programas de Pós-Graduação em Comunicaçãofalse |
