GARNICA, Naím. Critical Irony or the Lovers of Ruins: The Aesthete, the Dandy and the Flâneur. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2017, n.52, pp.151-172. ISSN 0188-6649. https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v0i52.780.
This essay examines the critical character of Friedrich Schlegel’s Romantic irony, following its considerations and appropriations by Walter Benjamin, Harold Bloom and Paul de Man. Likewise, it shows a parallelism of this critical attitude of irony with three Romantic literary figures: the aesthete, the dandy and the flâneur. These figures, joined by a prophetic faith in art, make of irony a profession which moves between creation and destruction. Appropriation in the poststructuralist context allows us to perceive irony in such a radical incomprehension, developing an aesthetic pattern that operates between creation and annihilation.
