El columnismo de José Antonio Marina: análisis de su “estética y filosofía ‘zoom’”
Abstract
Entre los géneros de opinión, las columnas transmiten las ideas y sentimientos del autor, mediante un cuidado uso del lenguaje y una variedad de recursos retóricos y argumentativos. Su carácter persuasivo se basa en la personalidad y el talante del columnista. Esta investigación estudia la obra columnística del filósofo José Antonio Marina. Se ha analizado una muestra de 370 columnas que Marina escribió con periodicidad en ABC Cultural, El Semanal, El Cultural (El Mundo), La Vanguardia y El Confidencial, entre 1997 y 2015. Las constantes halladas en el corpus permiten identificar la “estética y filosofía zoom” como método para abordar un tema en un espacio reducido en las columnas de Marina. En esta técnica distinguimos dos modalidades: a) conjugar ingenio y profundidad, con el fin de descubrir relaciones insospechadas entre objetos y realidades cotidianas; b) usar herramientas conceptuales para iluminar realidades fragmentarias o anecdóticas, y mostrar el sentido de los asuntos objeto de reflexión. Asimismo, la “filosofía zoom” se configura como un aspecto esencial del ethos de Marina. Among the opinion genres, newspaper columns portray the author’s ideas and feelings, through an elaborate use of language and a variety of rhetorical and argumentative resources. Their persuasive character is based on the columnist’s personality and attitude. Our research analyses the newspaper columns of philosopher José Antonio Marina. A sample of 370 columns that Marina wrote periodically in ABC Cultural, El Semanal, El Cultural (El Mundo), La Vanguardia and El Confidencial, from 1997 to 2015, were analyzed. The results allow identifying the “zoom aesthetics and philosophy” as a method to deal with a topic in a short text in Marina’s columns. Two different modalities have been identified in this technique: a) Combining ingenuity and depth, with the aim of discovering unsuspected relationships among objects and daily realities; b) Using conceptual tools to shed light on fragmentary or anecdotal realities, so as to show the meaning of the subjects of his thoughts. Thus, the “zoom philosophy” becomes a key element in Marina’s ethos.Downloads
