| Sumario: | Even though Leopoldo Lugones’s thought has been interpreted as authoritarian and
monologist, such interpretation can be questioned from the viewpoint of the
imbrication between nationalism and universalism that pervade his works of modern
inspiration. His book Prometeo (un proscripto del sol) –a piece of aesthetic pedagogy
and a homage to the country’s centennial– combines the «aesthetics of nationalism»
with the defense of the values of the Enlightenment, especially with the value of
freedom, and, from the position of the poet, of «creative» freedom. This paper tries
to interpret, from a hermeneutics in which philosophy enters into a dialogue with the
mythical thinking, the possible uses of the myth in Lugones’s writing of Prometheus.
Such uses can give rise both to the constitutive nucleus of what will be his most
excluding nationalist discourse –starting with the lectures of 1913 about the poem
Martín Fierro– and a defense of the poetic autonomy against the bourgeois world
linked to a certain way of utopian thinking. |
