Reformulación de la aventura y líneas de riesgo en Adventures among Birds de William Henry Hudson

Abstract

En Adventures among birds (1913) el escritor y naturalista angloargentino William Henry Hudson se dedicó a narrar sus encuentros con la avifauna del paisaje inglés, amenazada por cazadores y coleccionistas en un momento de acelerada modernización e industrialización. En primer lugar interesará analizar de qué manera Hudson reformula aquí la idea de aventura, que él mismo experimentó en su juventud y desarrolló en libros previos: la del coleccionismo, la de la caza deportiva y la del explorador naturalista imperial. En segundo lugar, se observará que la contemplación de la avifauna silvestre que el escritor experimenta en este y otros ensayos se acerca al sentido medieval del término “aventura” (Agamben) en tanto “evento” de lo que adviene en el centro de la vida (y no ya en sus márgenes, según la concepción moderna que puntualiza Simmel). Como tal, la contemplación ornitológica en tanto aventura del pensamiento y de la percepción entre las aves compromete al escritor a operaciones de riesgo e intensidad: traducción, glosa, intercambio de perspectivas, regresiones y devenires. Por último se indagará la contemporaneidad de la aventura naturalista en la escena literaria argentina, en particular a partir del poemario Aventuras de pájaro (2021) de Laura Forchetti y Alejandra Correa.

In Adventures among birds (1913) the Anglo- Argentine writer and naturalist William Henry Hudson narrates his encounters with the birdlife of the English landscape, threatened by hunters and collectors at a time of accelerated modernization and industrialization. First of all, we will analyze how Hudson reformulates here the idea of “adventure”, which he himself experienced in his youth and developed in his previous books: hunting, collecting and exploring in an imperial-like fashion. Secondly, we will observe that the contemplation of wild birds experienced by the writer in this and other essays is close to the medieval sense of the term “adventure” (Agamben) as an “event” of what happens at the center of life (and no longer on its margins, according to the modern conception that Simmel points out). As such, ornithological contemplation as an adventure of thought and perception among birds commits the writer to operations of risk and intensity: translation, gloss, exchange of perspectives, regressions and transformations. Finally, we will investigate the contemporaneity of naturalistic adventure in the Argentine literary scene, particularly around the collection of poems Aventuras de pájaro (2021) by Laura Forchetti and Alejandra Correa.
