Abstract
En el presente artículo se realiza, desde
el Renacimiento hasta nuestros días, un recorrido
por las diversas hipótesis que se han
vertido en torno al relato platónico sobre la
Atlántida, formuladas por una serie de autores
de muy diferente formación académica e
intencionalidad ideológica. Y ese recorrido
histórico nos muestra que el de la Atlántida
puede considerarse un relato-problema que
ha ido reformulándose a lo largo del tiempo
para cumplir diversas funciones a lo largo
de su dilatada historia, una de ellas sin duda
la de servir de instrumento para cuestionar
los paradigmas dominantes en las diversas
etapas que comprende el período histórico
referenciado, incluso alejándose para ello
en muchas ocasiones de lo sostenido en el
texto elaborado por el pensador ateniense.
Termina el artículo consignando una serie
de puntos acerca del papel que el relato platónico
sobre la Atlántida podría jugar en la
actualidad
This article presents a journey, from the Renaissance to the present day, through the different hypotheses made about the Platonic story of Atlantis and proposed by a number of authors from very different academic backgrounds and ideological intents. This historical overview shows that Atlantis can be considered a story/problem that has been reformulated over time to serve many roles throughout its long history. One of them, undoubtedly, to be instrumental when it comes to questioning the dominant paradigms at the various stages comprising the referenced historical period, even, in order to do so, moving away on many occasions from what the text written by the Athenian thinker contains. The article ends by stating a number of points about the role that the Platonic story of Atlantis could play today
