Abstract
RESUMEN:
La novela de Johann Wolfgang Goethe «Die Wahlverwandtschaften», publicada en 1809, es también una manera de articular conocimiento en torno a un hecho anecdótico, de forma que alcance un carácter simbólico. El centro en torno al que pivotan anécdota y conocimiento –o sea, la trama de la novela– es el jardín que se extiende en torno al castillo del barón Eduard. Este conocimiento se archiva, se colecciona, se proyecta, se reorienta y se realiza en la novela. Todas estas acciones, cuyo objeto directo común es el jardín entendido como conocimiento, implican un modo de articular y presentar el tiempo. Por ese motivo será éste el asunto central del presente artículo. Asunto que abordaremos desde dos perspectivas: una, filosófica y otra, poetológica. Todo ello nos llevará a concluir que en el modo etimológicamente estético de entender el jardín en la novela se combinan elementos sustanciales que lo convierten en una heterotopía.
ABSTRACT: Goethe’s novel «Die Wahlverwandtschaften», published in 1809, is also a way of articulating knowledge around an anecdotal event, so that it may reach a symbolic nature. The centre around which anecdote and knowledge turn – that is the plot of the novel – is the garden around the castle of the baron Eduard. This knowledge is filed, collected, planed, reorientated and put into practice in the novel. All these actions, whose common direct object is the garden – understood as knowledge –, involve a way of formulating and presenting time. That is the reason why I conceive the relation between time and garden as the main matter of this article. A subject I will discuss regarding it from two different points of view: the first, philosophical, the second, from the field of Poetics. All of this will lead to the conclusion that the aesthetic – in an etymological sense – way of understanding the garden in the novel results form the combination of some crucial elements that turn it into a heterotopia.
