  • Entre la literatura y la eugenesia: el ideal de amor, según José Ingenieros Cristina Beatriz Fernández Estudios Culturales love ideal eugenics literature modernismo The aim of this paper is to analyse the process of naturalization - conceptual and rethorical- applied to the concept of ideal in the José Ingenieros works. The concept of ideal de amor is inherited from Stendhal, and Ingenieros modifies this concept to the point of satisfy, simultaneously, the rhetorics treatment of the subject -according to the modernismo aesthetics- and his proper understanding of eugenics development of the humankind. It is interesting to note that, while Stendhal talks about the love process in methaphorical terms, Ingenieros treats the topic in a extremely literal sense, and as a process exclusively natural, even when he is informing about his pathological deviations. It is an example about the rol performed by the biological sciences in the finde- siècle, when they were transformed in a cognitive diallect used literal and metaphorically to explain the natural and social reality. 2008 artículo científico 1600-0110 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=16201408 http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=162 Diálogos Latinoamericanos application/pdf Aarhus Universitet Diálogos Latinoamericanos (Dinamarca) Num.14
