Resumo: | While the concept of “infinite distance” (ID) appears as such only in the work of Maurice Blanchot, in this paper we argue that it could be productively coined with Walter Benjamin as well. We argue that (1) the concept of ID is elaborated from a revision, a re-signification, and a radicalization of the modern concept of “aesthetic distance”, and that (2) this modification is fundamentally based on the interpretations that both, Benjamin and Blanchot, make first of early German Romanticism, and later of the work of Franz Kafka. This modification, we argue, (3) contains a shift in the ground of the concept: the concept of ID has no longer as ground the domain of the subjective faculties (i.e. the ‘judgment of taste’), but the domain of art and language. We show lastly (4) that the concept of ID presupposes the existence of a ‘fragmentary impulse’ within literary works, that can be understood as a “limit-experience” for the subjectivity. |

En el presente artículo, sostenemos (1) que el concepto de DI se elabora sobre la base de una revisión, una re-significación y una radicalización del concepto moderno de “distanciamiento estético”, y que (2) esta modificación se realiza fundamentalmente a partir de las interpretaciones que tanto Benjamin como Blanchot hacen primero del temprano romanticismo alemán, y más tarde de la obra de Franz Kafka. Esa modificación, sostenemos, por último, (3) contiene un desplazamiento en el fundamento del concepto: el concepto de DI ya no tiene por base el ámbito de las facultades subjetivas (i.e. el ‘juicio de gusto’), sino el ámbito del arte y del lenguaje. Mostramos así (4) que el concepto de DI supone la existencia de un ‘impulso fragmentario’ al interior de las obras literarias, que se manifiesta como “experiencia-límite” para la subjetividad.Revista KriterionRevista KriterionKriterion: Revista de FilosofiaKriterion: Revista de FilosofiaRevista Kriterion2023-01-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/article/view/36104Revista Kriterion; Vol. 63 No. 153 (2022)Revista Kriterion; Vol. 63 Núm. 153 (2022)Kriterion: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 63 No 153 (2022)Kriterion: Revista de Filosofia; V. 63 N. 153 (2022)Revista Kriterion; v. 63 n. 153 (2022)1981-53360100-512Xreponame:Kriterion (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGspahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/article/view/36104/32102Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Kriterionhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFernández H., Diego2023-01-06T00:32:38Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/36104Revistahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterionPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/oairevistakriterion@gmail.com1981-53360100-512Xopendoar:2024-01-24T12:41:30.573194Kriterion (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |
