Presencias reales (1989), quizás el libro más conocido de George Steiner, suele presentarse como una reivindicación de la alta cultura, de la lectura humanista y de los valores estéticos intrínsecos a las grandes obras artísticas. En este artículo se parte de los argumentos antideconstructivos planteados por Steiner en el contexto de los debates académicos estadounidenses. En polémica subyacente, entre otras, con las propuestas de Paul De Man o Stanley Fish, la obra de Steiner no representa una vuelta a los principios de una metafísica realista formulada estéticamente. La provocativa referencia a Dios no es una coartada para resolver el problema del sentido fuera del texto sino una «esperanza» que debe ser cumplida «en» el texto. Frente a la lectura escéptica, sus aporías se vuelven paradojas de un lenguaje tentativamente numinoso.
Real Presences (1989), perhaps the best-known work by George Steiner, is usually introduced as a vindication of high-culture, humanist reading and aesthetic values inherent to artistic masterpieces. This paper is based on the arguments of anti-deconstructionist theory raised by Steiner, in the context of US academy debates. Contrary to the proposals of Paul de Man or Stanley Fish, among others, Steiner’s work does not represent a relapse into a realistic metaphysics aesthetically created. The provocative reference to God is not an alibi to resolve the question of meaning outside the text but «hope» to be fulfilled «within» the text. If read sceptically, its aporiai become paradoxes with tentatively numinous language.
