| Sumario: | Based on some of María Zambrano’s ideas, it can be asserted that she belongs to a certain counter-scholarly genealogy, interested in revising the totalizing historicist utopias of the 19th century. Thus, her approaches to the notion of time, her reception of Menéndez Pelayo’s work, and her agreement with Unamuno in the search for a national philosophy hidden beneath the Spanish literary canon are axes capable of explaining not only Zambrano’s assessment of traditional literary history, but also her disagreements with the established canon. Examples of this position are her reading strategies regarding the novel and tragedy, understood not as documents of a particular context, but as alternative forms of experiential knowledge and as an “other” history of Spanish literature and culture. |
