The Spanish Civil War and the Exile as “metaphysical events”. Structural Trauma in Maria Zambrano
Abstract
This paper aims at delving further into Maria Zambrano’s reading of historical events such as the Spanish Civil War and the subsequent exile so as to brings to the for the discontinuities underlying how Maria Zambrano’s philosophy addresses those problems. As different readers of Maria Zambrano asserted, her philosophy has moved from the historical field to delving further into the origins of historical events from a metaphysical and theological point of view. In this regards, this paper addresses the historic-conceptual ground of such discursive transition by endorsing methodological distinctions stemming from Dominick LaCapra’s trauma theory – more specifically from his notion “structural trauma. By so doing, this paper brings light into assumptions and implications underlying Zambrano’s metaphysical perspective on those historical events.
