Las insistencias del sentido. Un acercamiento a Cosmos, de Witold Gombrowicz
Abstract
A partir del diálogo directo que Cosmos entabla con la estructura y recursos de la novela policial, esta lectura crítica insiste en una similitud y una diferencia. La semejanza tratada es el intento de organizar un caos, la diferencia es la forma de hacerlo. Mientras el relato de enigma organiza sus "pruebas" para reconstituir el puzzle. Cosmos enumera "pruebas" truculentamente insignificantes que no tratan de resolver el misterio, sino de indagar sobre aquello que en su imagen incomprensible inquieta, hechiza y reproduce. Concentrándose en una serie de colgamientos que se suceden en la novela, y tomando en cuenta que Gombrowicz llamaba a Cosmos "una novela sobre la formación de la realidad", este trabajo inquiere en torno a la producción del sentido inquiere en torno a la producción del sentido en relación al acto de la creación literaria, a la concepción de la realidad como acontecimiento y a la potencia generadora de detalles aparentemente insignificantes donde la huella el trabajo humano olvidado en la cosa persiste para hacer de la narración un río imparable.
Considering the direct dialogue Cosmos brings about with the structure and resources of the detective genre, this paper insist on a similarity and a difference The similarity dealt with is the intent of organizing a chaos, while the difference is how to do it. As the enigma story settles "proofs" in order to solve a puzzle,Cosmos lists "proofs" that are quarrelsome insignificant, not intended to solve mystery but, to explore that which, having a non comprehensible image, perturbs,enchants and reproduces. Focusing in a series of hangings occurring in the novel,and acknowledging Gombrowicz used to refer to Cosmos as "a shaping of reality novel", this paper inquires on the production of sense related to the act of literary creation, on the conception of reality, the conception of reality as an event, and on the power generating details apparently non significant carrying the trace ofhuman work forgotten on the thing persisting and making the narration a non retainable river.
