Petonii Curiosa Felicitas : La función de las citas en el discurso de Eumolpo (Sat. 118)

Este trabajo analiza el fenómeno intertextual de la ?cita? en Petronio, Sat. 118, donde el poeta de la obra, Eumolpo, expone su particular ?ars poetica?. En este discurso, Eumolpo cita los nombres de Homero, Virgilio y Horacio, al tiempo que cita el primer verso de la Oda 3.1 del Venusino, lo que evidencia que el poetastro tiene muy en cuenta la figura horaciana. El análisis de las citas en este pasaje se relaciona con que Petronio es un autor que alude constantemente, pero que cita muy rara vez, por lo que, cuando lo hace, se debe prestar mucha atención

Postproduciendo (casi) nada

Postproducción es un término extraído de la industria audiovisual que alude a todas las operaciones realizadas sobre un material YA grabado o existente: música, fotografías, videos, películas, pinturas, etc. Tiene mayoritariamente un carácter entrópico, de liberación continua e irreversible de energías y nuevos productos reprogramados que revisan productos ya anteriormente reprogramados, y así de manera sucesiva hasta el infinito. ¿Podríamos imaginar una postproducción de sentido contrario? ¿Una postproducción cuyo esfuerzo tienda a cero? ¿Y si ahora preferimos seguir postproduciendo pero haciéndolo desde (casi) nada? Si extrapolamos esta otra acepción directamente hacia la práctica arquitectónica, estaríamos reivindicando una forma explícita de eficacia donde la manera de proceder (la mejor opción, la más sostenible) puede ser precisamente ‘no hacer’ o ‘hacer muy poco’. Una semejanza que nos emparentaría con Bartleby, el personaje de Herman Melville y su célebre frase: “preferiría no hacerlo”.

DAS GESPRÄCH ZWISCHEN HÖLDERLIN, HEGEL UND SCHELLING ÜBER KANTS ANTINOMIEN

«Die Art, wie er den Mechanismus der Natur mit ihrer Zweckmäßigkeit vereiniget, scheint mir eigentlich den ganzen Geist seines Systems zu enthalten»: This quotation, which originated the present essay, is solely extracted from a letter sent by Hölderlin to Hegel, and yet, it condensates three different approaches from the three Tübingen friends to the problem of Kant’s philosophy of religion and to its possible resolution between 1795 and 1796. From this epistolary dialogue emerges a simultaneous study of Kant, originated by the growing dissension towards the orthodox thought of the Stift. The turning point – or the maximum cumulative point – of this discordance happens precisely with the discovery of the «spirit of Kant’s system», as a combined explanation of the religious and philosophical phenomena [«Die Art, wie er den Mechanismus der Natur mit ihrer Zweckmässigkeit vereiniget»]. This, I think, is something which the three friends discover gradually and not independently from the concept of «providence», which Kant himself, according to Hölderlin, had used to «attenuate his antinomies», which Hegel uses in his first religious writings and the initial formation of his own philosophy and which Schelling will later explore in his System of Transcendental Idealism. In a word, providence is consensually the comprehension axis between man, God and nature and, thus, the explanatory link between the antinomical poles which regulate human existence. On the other hand, however – this being the aspect I would like to stress –, this decisive moment for a whole generation, for the history of philosophy itself, means the consummation of a new revolutionary perspective born in Kant, a new vision of the absolute and the divine and, therefore, a new way to write philosophy about philosophy, less philosophical than before, to the extent that the new situation of man and his reflection within the problem ultimately destined them – as is the case in the three young philosophers – to silence and death. The final aim of this essay is, therefore, to know what this «last step of philosophy» is and what dies along with it, what such a step may have meant and what it already foretold in terms of the development of philosophy.
