Resumen
En la discusión de las tesis benjaminianas sobre la muerte del narrador, se ha dejado en general de lado la evidencia de que el ensayista alemán no dedicó su atención en sí a la literatura popular (Volksliteratur), sino a autores que, en su opinión, reelaboran el arte narrativo tradicional anónimo y colectivo (Leskov, Keller, Hebel, Conrad). La consideración atenta de la obra de estos autores muestra que en ellos es ya evidente esa crisis de la narración que Benjamin asocia con la literatura posterior a la Gran Guerra. Una revisión de las propuestas de Benjamin requeriría un estudio de los avatares de la novela corta (Novelle), un género al que pertenece la mayoría de los modelos invocados por Benjamin como prototipos de la narración tradicional, y al que Benjamin no concede una atención específica. Nuestra propuesta es examinar la hipótesis (sugerida por Kracauer) acerca de una crisis y transfiguración de la Novelle, y ponerla a prueba a partir de un análisis de narraciones alemanas canónicas.
In the discussion of Walter Benjamin´s theses on the death of the narrator, it has generally been left aside that the German essayist did not devote his attention to popular literature (Volksliteratur), but to authors (Leskov, Keller, Hebel, Conrad) who, in his opinion, rework traditional narrative art – anonymous and collective–. The careful consideration of the works of these authors could show that, in them, the crisis of the narrative that Benjamin associates with literature after the Great War is already evident. A review of Benjamin's proposals would require a study of the vicissitudes of the short novel (Novelle), a genre to which most of the models invoked by Benjamin as prototypes of traditional narration belong, and to which Benjamin does not grant specific attention. Our proposal is to examine the hypothesis (suggested by Kracauer) about a crisis and transfiguration of the Novelle, and test it from an analysis of canonical German narratives.
