Jean-Richard Bloch: pensamiento y creación

Figuerola Cabrol, M. Carme 18 June 1999 (has links)
La tesis tiene como objeto de estudio el pensamiento de Jean-RichardBloch, un autor algo descuidado por la crítica literaria pese a que ejerció unpapel destacado en el cenáculo intelectual de la primera mitad del siglo XX.El análisis se inicia mediante un recorrido biográfico que sitúa al escritor enel contexto histórico literario del momento e incide en la repercusión que losacontecimientos sociales tuvieron no sólo en su vida sino en supensamiento.Los capítulos siguientes abordan los principales temas que acaparan laatención de J.-R.B. a lo largo de sus ensayos, comparándolereiteradamente con sus contemporáneos para juzgar con mayor justicia suoriginalidad.En arte Bloch se manifiesta favorable a que el artista se comprometa conlos problemas de su entorno y protesta así, contra las ideas preconizadaspor Gautier en el siglo XIX. El arte se convierte en un órgano capaz deregenerar las afecciones socioeconómicas de una civilización cuyos idealesestán en crisis. Esta última premisa domina su trayectoria: las dos guerrasmundiales, el affaire Dreyfus marcan hitos importantes y conducen a Blocha posturas no siempre de acuerdo con sus pretendidas tesis de izquierdas.Pero pese a la derrota moral que la historia le inflige, el pensador no cedeen su intento de descubrir un nuevo ideal capaz de guiar a su sociedad porun sendero mejor. En esa búsqueda se incluye su recurso al mitonapoleónico que simboliza, a su entender, un prototipo del individualismocorrespondiente al pasado. En ese sentido se orienta su mirada a laentonces U.R.S.S. o a fenómenos nuevos como el deporte y la tecnología.Por último, la tesis estudia el comportamiento de Bloch frente a la guerracivil española: su viaje a esas tierras, su posterior relato del mismo y lasacciones emprendidas para favorecer el triunfo del Frente Popular.En definitiva, a través del corpus ensayístico la tesis aborda las opciones deun hombre que se enfrenta a retos difíciles y cuyos criterios oscilan entre laherencia legada por el siglo XIX y las tendencias modernas, progresistas, enciertas ocasiones, visionarias casi, que le permiten intuir problemas todavíavigentes en nuestra civilización. / This doctoral dissertation examines the philosophy of Jean-Richard Bloch,somewhat slighted by literary criticism despite his outstanding role in theintellectual circles of the first half of the twentieth century.The analysis starts with a biographical account that situates the author inthe historical and literary context of the period, insisting upon the impact ofthese events both in his life and his ideas.The following chapters tackle the main issues that capture the author'sattention in his non-fiction work, repeatedly contrasting it with that of hiscontemporaries with the purpose of achieving greater objectivity as regardsthe originality of his production. As regards art, Bloch manifests apredilection for an artist who is concerned with the problems around him,thus protesting against the opinions circulated by Gautier in the nineteenthcentury. Art becomes thus capable of regenerating socioeconomic afflictionsin a civilisation plunged into a crisis of ideals. This last premise dominateshis literary career: the two World Wars and the Dreyfus affair mark turningpoints and lead Bloch into taking stands that sometimes deviate from hisalleged leftist ideology.Despite the moral defeat that history inflicted upon him, Bloch persists inattempting to discover a new ideal that is capable to lead his society in abetter direction. In that quest he falls back on the myth of Napoleon which,according to the author, symbolises a model of individualism that belongs tothe past, and looks up to the former Soviet Union or to new phenomena likesports or technology.Finally, this doctoral dissertation is concerned with Bloch's reaction to theSpanish Civil War: his trip to Spain and his ensuing account of it, as well ashis actions to favour the victory of the Popular Front.To conclude, this dissertation uses Bloch's non-fiction corpus in order toanalyse the available options of a man confronting complex challenges. Hisprinciples fluctuate between the nineteenth century legacy and moderntendencies, liberal and almost visionary on occasion, which allow him todiscern issues that are still applicable to the present time.
