Los imperativos del exilio (A propósito del centenario de María Zambrano)

Abstract

Few vital and intellectual trajectories have been so bound to the experience of the exile like that of María Zambrano (1904-2004). Far from being drained in a simple biographical circumstance, it was this experience the constant nourishment of an entire reflection from and on the margin, in answer to the crisis of the western subjectivity. The memory, understood as an interpolating rescue of their lost faces, veiled under the overpowering violence of the European history, and against the grain always of all objective or discursive understanding of the past, plays a part singly inside this reflection. It is for it that centennials as that of María Zambrano invites, not already to remember one of the most important philosophical works in the Spanish exile of 1939, but also to revise the same sense of the anniversaries. To discover, under the objectivity of the same ones, something more than history.
