Abstract
El dandismo es una figura clave a lo largo del siglo XIX, no sólo como fenómeno literario, sino también como fenómeno social e histórico. El dandismo engloba además textos desde comienzos del siglo XIX hasta el inicio temprano del siglo XX. Además, la figura del dandy resulta clave en autores que pertenecen al cánon como principales influencias de la literatura moderna europea. La ubicuidad del dandy en este siglo de transición hacia la Edad Contemporánea, especialmente si se considera que excede los límites de lo meramente literario, debe de indicar forzosamente una relación más allá de un tropos literario. El objetivo de esta tesis es presentar el dandismo como fenómeno intertextual, reproductor de un discurso recurrente a lo largo del siglo XIX: la crisis identitaria de la clase aristocrática. Los textos del dandismo se sustentan sobre un discurso de crítica de las funciones de la aristocracia, que tiene su origen alrededor del siglo XVII, y alcanza su culmen durante el siglo XIX.; en tanto que discurso, estos textos producen y difunden dicha imagen de la aristocracia en el periodo. De este modo, el dandismo produce y reproduce una determinada imagen de la aristocracia dominante en el siglo XIX. No obstante, la figura del dandy es fluida, apropiándose de diversas perspectivas, dependiendo tanto del autor como del periodo en el que está inscrito...
Dandyism played a key role throughout the 19th century, not only as a literary phenomenon, but also as a social and historical phenomenon, encompassing texts from the early 19th century to the early 20th century. During this period, the dandy became a fundamental figure to authors who belong to the canon as major influences on modern European literature. The ubiquity of the dandy in this century of transition to the Contemporary Age, especially if one considers that it exceeds the limits of the merely literary, must necessarily indicate a relationship beyond a literary trope.The aim of this thesis is to present dandyism as an intertextual phenomenon, reproducing a recurrent discourse throughout the 19th century: the identity crisis of the aristocracy. The texts of dandyism emerged from a discourse which criticised the functions of the aristocracy, and originated circa the 17th century, reaching its peak in the 19th century; as a discourse, these texts produce and disseminate this image of the aristocracy throughout the period. Thus, dandyism produces and reproduces a certain image of the dominant aristocracy in the 19th century. However, the figure of the dandy is fluid, appropriating different perspectives, depending both on the author and the period in which it is inscribed...
