Abstract
Hormonas y creatividad. ¿Hay alguna relación? La literatura está plagada de casos que lo demuestran: pasiones no correspondidas, amores imposibles, luchas testosterónicas por el poder… Balzac decía: “cada mujer con la que me he acostado es una novela que no he escrito”. Y Oscar Wilde se quejaba de que cada vez que aparecía su amante, no era capaz de escribir. Podríamos deducir de ellos que se escribe cuando no se tiene a la persona amada, para completarse, para soportar la ausencia. Pero ¿qué son todas esas pasiones, que tantos ríos de tinta han hecho correr, sino hormonas disparadas? Además de esas revoluciones hormonales en la adolescencia o las pasiones amorosas que comparten ambos sexos, las mujeres experimentan la menstruación, los embarazos y el climaterio, momentos delicados que pueden alterar su estabilidad. Si en los casos anteriores la pulsión creativa se ve afectada, ¿podrían las hormonas femeninas influir de alguna manera en la pulsión creativa? La investigación que planteamos se inscribe dentro de los estudios culturales delas emociones y traspasa las fronteras disciplinares. Las interpretaciones de nuestra fisiología y del entorno, así como lo que materialmente producen, son difíciles de circunscribir en una sola facultad. Se eligió la de Ciencias de la Documentación de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid para la presentar la tesis porque ésta se basa en fuentes orales. La profesora e investigadora de esta facultad, Fátima Martín Escudero, junto a la doctora y ginecóloga Rocío Montejo, de la Universidad de Gotemburgo, y la investigadora Pura Fernández, directora de la Editorial CSIC, han supervisado el trabajo...
Is there any relation between hormones and creativity? Literature is full of cases that prove it so: unrequited passions, impossible loves, testosterone struggles for power... Balzac said: "every woman I have slept with is a novel I have not written". And Oscar Wilde complained that every time his lover appeared, he was unable to write. We could deduce from them that one writes when one does not have the loved one, to complete oneself, to endure the absence. What are all these passions which have caused so many rivers of ink to flow but hormones running wild? In addition to these hormonal revolutions in adolescence or the amorous passions shared by both sexes, women experience menstruation, pregnancy and the climacteric period, delicate moments that can alter their stability. If in the previous cases the creative drive is affected, could female hormones somehow influence the creative drive?The research we propose is inscribed in the cultural studies of emotions and crosses disciplinary boundaries. The interpretations of our physiology and our environment, as well as what they materially produce, are difficult to circumscribe in a single faculty. The Faculty of Documentation Sciences from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid was chosen to present the thesis because it is based on oral sources. The professor and researcher of this faculty, Fátima Martín Escudero, together with the doctor and gynecologist Rocío Montejo, from the University of Gothenburg, and the researcher Pura Fernández, director of the Editorial CSIC, have supervised the work...
