Resumo: This is an analysis of the two components of the “Russian soul” highlighted in the Dostoevsky’s novels: Napoleonism and Christology. The origins of both of them can be found in the Western history and civilization. There is a certain paradox in the fact that the evolution of these two lines in the oeuvre of the great Russian writer arrives to an approach of the two types, the Napoleonic one and that of the follower of Christ, especially in The Idiot. A revision of the “Russian soul” under the light of the most recent interpretations of Russian critics discovers new intertexts and opens Dostoevsky’s text to a renewed identity dialogue. This paper is influenced by Bakhtin’s philosophical anthropology and philosophy of language.

Paradójicamente, la evolución de las dos líneas en las novelas del gran escritor ruso conduce a una determinada, en algunos aspectos, de los dos tipos, en particular, en El idiota. La revisión del manoseado tópico del “alma rusa” a la luz de las recientes investigaciones de los especialistas rusos pone de manifiesto nuevas intertextualidades y abre la obra a un diálogo renovado acerca de la identidad. El trabajo se inspira en la antropología filosófica y la filosofía del lenguaje de M. M. Bajtín.El “alma rusa” es un tópico que nos remite a un psicologismo decimonónico, y pervive como cliché no sólo en una conversación informal en torno a los rusos, sino muchas veces también en los estudios más específicos. No me propongo resolver aquí el problema. Basta con plantearlo. Se trata de mostrar, a través de la fusión de dos motivos literarios – Napoleón y Jesucristo -, un modo concreto de la manifestación de esta “alma”, si es que existe como esencia invariable, en la obra de Dostoievski, máxime que son de tópicos compartidos por la cultura occidental. Tolstoi y Dostoievski protagonizaron desde el principio la representación de esta “alma” misteriosa e intrigante, producto de un país que se había impuesto recientemente, - apenas en el siglo XVIII-, en el horizonte europeo.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2011-11-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/bakhtiniana/article/view/7152Bakhtiniana.
