Resumo: In 1928, Hugo von Hofmannsthal published The Tower, his last play and his legacy, based on La vida es sueño by Calderón de la Barca. The fictional plot presents an ancient Poland shaken by a lost war and oscillating between three kinds of government: the traditional, the legal and the charismatic. Sigismund, the son of the dethroned despot, fails to establish himself as a new and humane ruler and so does the millenaristic revolution of the orphan children; the triumph falls to the soldier Olivier, supported by radical amorality and brutal troopers. This scenario can be seen as an allegory of the Austrian post-war context and of the rising of fascist movements in Europe. Hofmannsthal also integrates elements from the works of M. Weber, W. Benjamin and C. Schmitt in The Tower, so it can be understood as a fictional complement to the perceptive analyzes made by these intellectuals of the European society after the catastrophe of the war.

Na trama ficcional, a Polônia antiga, abalada por uma guerra perdida, oscila entre três formas de governo: o tradicional, o legal e o carismático. Sigismund, filho do déspota fracassado, não consegue sustentar-se como novo príncipe humano, e a revolução milenarista das crianças órfãs tampouco se afirma; quem triunfa é o soldado Olivier, apoiado em amoralidade radical e seus guerreiros embrutecidos. Reconhece-se, neste cenário, uma alegoria sobre a situação austríaca do pós-guerra e dos movimentos fascistas em surgimento na Europa. Ao mesmo tempo, o autor assimila leituras de M. Weber, W. Benjamin e C. Schmitt, de forma que “A torre” pode ser lida como complemento ficcional das agudas análises desses teóricos sobre a sociedade europeia após a catástrofe da 1ª Guerra.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2020-09-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/4435510.5902/1679849X44355Literatura e Autoritarismo; n. 24 (2020): Dossiê "1918: O fim do século XIX, 100 anos depois"1679-849X1679-849Xreponame:Literatura e Autoritarismoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/44355/23904Copyright (c) 2020 Literatura e Autoritarismoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGalle, Helmut2023-05-24T03:10:16Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/44355Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/indexPUBhttp://cascavel.ufsm.br/revistas/ojs-2.2.2/index.php/LA/oaigla@mail.ufsm.br||jlourique@pq.cnpq.br1679-849X1679-849Xopendoar:2023-05-24T03:10:16Literatura e Autoritarismo - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false
