GONZALEZ LANZELLOTTI, Florencia E. The anagogical beauty in the aesthetics of Leopoldo Marechal. Franciscanum [online]. 2012, vol.54, n.158, pp.165-200. ISSN 0120-1468.
Abstract This article seeks to categorize and highlight the role of beauty as anagogical possible core of the aesthetic-philosophical treaty Descenso y ascenso del alma por la Belleza, by the Argentinean writer Leopoldo Marechal. To that end, we will analyze the chronological and textual evolution of the play, as well as its essential parts, to see the emphasis the author places in the rising mediation of creatures, through which the soul can find its center and in it, the vision of the primary Beauty. We believe this approach relevant to the marechalian work, since the journey of the soul is also the path of the marechalian self-poet that configures, for modern man, a model of transformation and on-tological religation. This model aims to show the man, all the angles of a mirror in which he could see himself in his transcendent nature.
