La atracción por lo siniestro: del 'horror plácido' al 'más allá del principio de placer'

2020 
espanolLa intencion de este articulo es la de trazar un recorrido por los principales intentos filosofico-literarios —con sus derivas de caracter mas psicologico— para comprender y analizar la atraccion hacia lo espantoso, desde la Ilustracion con el paradigmatico «horror placido» de Joseph Addison hasta el texto que podemos considerar fundacional en la teoria sobre lo siniestro: el ensayo bajo este titulo redactado por Sigmund Freud en 1919, intimamente relacionado con su analisis contemporaneo de los principios de placer, realidad y la pulsion de muerte. Se tendran en consideracion, asimismo, algunos de los antecedentes y derivaciones posteriores a estos dos momentos clave para la comprension de la atraccion del ser humano por lo siniestro. EnglishThe aim of this paper is to trace a way through the main philosophical and literary attempts, with their drifts of a more psychological nature, to understand and to analyze the attraction towards the uncanny. The point of departure is the Enlightenment with the paradigmatic «pleasing kind of horror» of Joseph Addison, and the itinerary ends with the text which we can consider foundational for the theory of the uncanny: the essay under the same title written by Sigmund Freud in 1919, intimately related to his contemporary analysis of the principles of pleasure, reality, and the death drive. Some of the antecedents and subsequent derivations to these two key moments for the understanding of the attraction of the human being towards the uncanny will also be taken in to account to evaluate the foresaid proposals.
