Como no podra ser de otra forma en el campo de las humanidades, los
especialistas en la historia del esoterismo occidental mantienen entre s arduas
discusiones. Sin embargo, tambin coinciden en que, entre fines del siglo XV y
mediados del XV, la magia natural, la tradicin hermtica, la cbala cristiana, la
magia astral, la astrologa, la alquimia y la alquimia rosacruz se articularon de tal
forma en Europa Occidental que conformaron las principales corrientes del
esoterismo del perodo, promovindose entonces el desarrollo de un entramado
de prcticas y representaciones heterogneas pero especficas.
Los principales agentes culturales que caracterizaron al esoterismo de la
modernidad temprana europeo-occidental fueron (entre otros): Marsilio Ficino,
Giovanni Pico della Mirndola, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, Guillaume Postel,
Paracelso, John Dee, Giordano Bruno, Tommaso Campanella, Johann Andreas,
Michael Maier, Robert Fludd y Thomas Vaughan.
El presente seminario de investigacin propone entonces, desde el enfoque
histrico-cultural, el abordaje de uno de los problemas historiogrficos centrales
de la Europa Moderna, articulando el anlisis del esoterismo con los diversos
problemas histricos de la poca que le conciernen y en el cual estos esoteristas
se encuentran inmersos (redescubrimiento -y reapropiacin- de los antiguos;
polmicas antimgicas y persecuciones; reformas religiosas y guerras de religin;
orgenes de la ciencia moderna)
Sin perder de vista las caractersticas generales del contexto histrico y con
el objetivo central de que los estudiantes de la carrera de Historia se inicien en las
prcticas de elaboracin de un discurso historiogrfico a partir del anlisis de
fuentes primarias y lectura crtica de bibliografa -clsica y actualizada de mediana
y elevada complejidad-; por un lado se examinarn los trminos de la indagacin
histrica actual sobre el esoterismo y los debates que se han suscitado; y por
otro, pero al mismo tiempo, se efectuarn estudios de caso en los cuales se
revelen con intensidad las cuestiones principales que este vasto problema
plantea.
