WEIGEL, Sigrid. La obra de arte como fractura: En torno a la dialéctica del orden divino y humano en " 'Las afinidades electivas' de Goethe" de Walter Benjamin. Acta poét [online]. 2007, vol.28, n.1-2, pp.173-203. ISSN 2448-735X.
Benjamin's essay about Goethe's "Elective Affinities" takes the art work as a "place of fracture" where something irrupts that exceeds the language of it. From beyond the art work, something bursts into its words and permits a presence of mystery which inhabits every work of art. The sharp separation of mystery from it is set into a dialectics of secularization in which Benjamin distinguishes between objective content and content of truth, commentary and criticism and, related to Goethe's novel, between task and demands, creature and conformation, election and decision, and, last but not least, between reconciliation and redemption. All in all, Benjamin's main question turns out to ask again for that which is divine and profane in the art work.
