The Walter Benjamin´s Chessboard: An Interpretation of the Thesis I about the Concept of HistoryEl tablero de ajedrez de Walter Benjamin: una interpretación de la tesis I sobre el concepto de la historiaUreña Soto, Omar J. MarxismhistorydialecticsfetishismtheologymarxismohistoriadialécticafetichismoteologíaThis paper analyzes the thesis I About the concept of history of Walter Benjamin in relation with the theory of fetichism of the merchandise and provides an integrated interpretation on the subject developed by Michael Löwy, Enrique Dussel and Franz Hinkelammert. The interpretation is primarily focused on an object which almost no attention has been given in an image offered to us by Benjamin: The image of the chessboard where “Historical Materialism” has always triumphed. This essay holds that one of the fundamental elements to understand how to conceive “history against the grain” is, who is the loser in front the chessboard? The question has an intention to go out of the objects that Benjamin presents in this text and show an interpretative key for an overview of this thesis.Este texto analiza la tesis I Sobre el concepto de historia de Walter Benjamin con relación a la teoría del fetichismo de la mercancía y brinda una interpretación integradora a lo desarrollado por Michael Löwy, Enrique Dussel y Franz Hinkelammert al respecto. La interpretación gira en torno a un objeto al que se le ha prestado nula atención en la imagen que nos ofrece Benjamin: el tablero de ajedrez en el que “el materialismo histórico” no ha dejado de vencer. Se sostiene que uno de los elementos fundamentales es comprender, en atención a su llamado a concebir “la historia a contrapelo”, ¿quién es ese vencido que está frente al autómata en el tablero? Esta pregunta tiene la intención de salir de los objetos que Benjamin presenta en este texto y brindar una llave interpretativa para la relectura de esta tesis.Universidad de Costa Rica 2023-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/ziptext/htmlhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/article/view/5308810.15517/h.v13i1.53088Revista humanidades; Vol. 13 No. 1 (2023): January-June; e53088Revista humanidades; Vol. 13 Núm. 1 (2023): Enero-Junio; e53088Revista humanidades; v. 13 n. 1 (2023): Enero-Junio; e530882215-3934reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/article/view/53088/54022https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/article/view/53088/54023https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/article/view/53088/54024acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-01-02T16:55:27Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/53088Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:37:43.988Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse |
