Abstract
Esta tesis es una indagación en torno al concepto estético y psicológicode lo siniestro (“Unheimliche”) y su posible manifestación en el ambientede la arquitectónica. La tesis se divide en dos partes, la primera correspondea un análisis bibliográfico en donde se desarrolla el concepto delo siniestro en términos generales abordando la amplitud semántica deltema, con tal de permitir una comprensión tanto para el neófito comopara el interesado. Con esta base conceptual se estudia el caso particularde lo siniestro en arquitectura, exponiendo como eje inicial la obrade Anthony Vidler y aludiendo a ejemplos extraídos del cine, pintura,fotografía, etc. Con esto se pretende formar algunas ideas de definiciónde lo siniestro para posteriormente desglosarlas en nueve categorías específicas.Las nueve categorías emanan de los tres pilares conceptualesde las áreas estudiadas (Psicología, Estética, Arquitectura).La segunda parte de esta tesis es propositiva, en la cual en primera instanciase estudian los casos particulares de cada categoría enmarcadosen los tres pilares fundamentales, que nosotros hemos llamado “Abschattung”.Cada Abschattung corresponde a una propuesta de expresióndel fenómeno de lo siniestro en la arquitectura, aspirando en cada unoa una definición que provenga de la experiencia sensible e intelectual,siendo el principal objetivo de la tesis presentar una definición de lo siniestrono escrita ni canónica, sino comprensible a través de un procesosensible e intelectual.Esta tesis es, en fin, una invitación vivir la pesadilla directamente. Un viajepor el infierno acompañado de Swedenborg, o siguiendo las huellas deDante. Una entrada al “foro interno” de los horrores donde nos correspondeocupar el papel de Meursault o Gregor Samsa.Palabras Clave: Estética, Psicología, Arte Contemporáneo, Abschattung,Expresionismo, Romanticismo, Goticismo.
This thesis is an inquiry around the aesthetic and psychological conceptof the uncanny (“Unheimliche”) and its possible manifestation in the architecturalenvironment. The thesis is divided into two parts, the first correspondsto a bibliographic analysis where the concept of the sinisteris developed in general terms addressing the semantic breadth of thesubject, in order to allow an understanding for both the neophyte andthe interested party. With this conceptual basis the particular case of thesinister in architecture is studied, exposing as an initial axis the work ofAnthony Vidler and alluding to examples extracted from cinema, painting,photography, etc. This is intended to form some ideas for definingthe uncanny and later to break them down into nine specific categories.The nine categories emanate from the three conceptual pillars of thestudied areas (Psychology, Aesthetics, Architecture).The second part of this thesis is propositive, in which, in the first instance,the particular cases of each category are studied, framed in the threefundamental pillars, which we have called “Abschattung”. Each Abschattungcorresponds to a proposal of the expression of the phenomenonof the uncanny in the architecture, aspiring in each one to a definitionthat comes from a sensible and intellectual experience, being the mainobjective of the thesis to present a definition of the sinister not written orcanonical, but understandable through a sensible and intellectual process.This thesis is, finally, an invitation to live the nightmare directly. A journeythrough hell accompanied by Swedenborg, or in the footsteps of Dante.An entrance to the “internal forum” of the horrors where we are proposedto occupy the role of Meursault or Gregor Samsa.Key Words: Aesthetics, Psychology, Contemporary Art, Abschattung, Expresionism,Romanticism, Goticism.
