| description |
The attraction for terror, mystery and monsters has existed even since ancient times, asthe novels and Hellenistic tragedies, but also Elizabethan drama. However it is from thesecond half of the 18th century and especially towards the French Revolution, when the libertine novels appear in France, also called romans noirs, and the gothic novels inEngland, called tales of terror as a response to the Enlightenment paradigm that takesmedieval materials redefining them in order to create new aesthetic forms. I aminterested here to study the metamorphoses of evil that revolutionary rhetoric, in thiscase, The Monk, operates as a gothic novel through the recovery and resemantization ofmedieval evil, according to which the latter reflect the sinister singularity of modernliterature .I will mainly take the concepts of monstrosity and evil and analyze themhermeneutically to interpret what the metamorphosis of these categories is like in thelate eighteenth century, with the event of the French Revolution in the aforementionedwork. In this work we brace The Monk as a model of the revolutionary rhetoric that willmark the aesthetic trend towards the 19th century thanks to his original commitmentthat is firstly to represent the metamorphosis of evil even using medieval materials, andsecondly, to attend to the place of receptors, caring about producing certain aestheticsthat arouse interest in a new sensibility. |

La atracción por el terror, el misterio y los monstruos ha existido incluso desde laantigüedad, como lo prueban las novelas y las tragedias helenísticas, pero también losdramas isabelinos. Sin embargo, es a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII yespecialmente hacia la época de la Revolución francesa, cuando aparecen las novelaslibertinas en Francia, también llamadas romans noirs, y las novelas góticas enInglaterra, denominadas tales of terror como una respuesta al paradigma de laIlustración que toma materiales medievales pero los resignifica y crea nuevas formasestéticas. Me interesa aquí desentrañar las metamorfosis del mal que la retóricarevolucionaria (en este caso, de El monje) opera en tanto novela gótica a través de larecuperación y la resemantización del mal medieval, según los cuales estos procesosretóricos reflejan la singularidad siniestra de la literatura moderna. Tomaréprincipalmente los conceptos de monstruosidad y mal y los analizaréhermenéuticamente para interpretar cómo es la metamorfosis de estas categorías en laspostrimerías del siglo XVIII , con el acontecimiento de la Revolución francesa en dichaobra mencionada. En este trabajo, sostenemos que El monje es el modelo de lasretóricas revolucionarias que marcará la tendencia estética hacia el siglo XIX gracias a suapuesta original que es, en primer lugar, representar la metamorfosis del mal inclusoutilizando materiales medievales y, en segunda instancia, atender al lugar de losreceptores, preocupándose por producir ciertas estéticas que susciten el interés ante unanueva sensibilidad.
