Resumen
En el tratado Della infinità di amore (1547), Tullia d’Aragona (c. 1510-1556) elabora una lectura original del neoplatonismo de su época, sobre todo respecto de la temática amorosa, muy en boga en el siglo XVI. La originalidad de Tullia reside en ser la autora del único diálogo erótico italiano de influencia neoplatónica escrito por una mujer en el Renacimiento. Allí, la cortesana postula la igualdad natural de varones y mujeres, lo que deviene en una radical revisión del concepto de amor desarrollado por otros tratados amorosos de la época. En este artículo nos proponemos destacar la originalidad del concepto de amor de Tullia d’Aragona. Para ello, dividiremos el trabajo de la siguiente manera: en primer lugar, nos detendremos en las estrategias de Tullia para discutir sobre un tema tradicionalmente tratado por filósofos y hombres eruditos; asimismo, abordaremos las críticas que la cortesana-filósofa dedica a estas autoridades; en segundo lugar, nos ocuparemos del problema principal desarrollado en el diálogo, esto es, si es posible amar infinitamente o si existe un límite para tal actividad; por último, analizaremos el concepto de amore onesto y sus particularidades con el fin de defender la originalidad introducida por Tullia en la discusión renacentista sobre el amor.
In her treatise Della infinità di amore (1547), Tullia d’Aragona (c. 1510- 1556) elaborates an original interpretation of the Neo-Platonism of her time, especially with respect to the theme of love, in vogue in the 16th century. Tullia’s originality lies in being the author of the only Italian erotic dialogue with Neo-Platonic influence written by a woman during the Renaissance. In this dialogue, the courtesan postulates the natural equality of men and women, which becomes a radical revision of the concept of love developed by other love treatises of her time. In this paper, I propose to highlight the originality of Tullia d’Aragona’s concept of love. To achieve this purpose, I will divide this work as follows: first, I will dwell on Tullia’s strategies to discuss a topic traditionally dealt with by philosophers and male scholars. In addition, I will address the critics that the courtesanphilosopher dedicates to these authorities. Secondly, I will deal with the main problem developed in the dialogue, that is, whether it is possible to love infinitely or whether there is a limit to such activity. Finally, I will analyze the concept of amore onesto and its particularities in order to defend the originality introduced by Tullia in the Renaissance discussion of love.
