Abstract
Los episodios pastoriles del Quijote nos permiten analizar la sutileza y la ironía cervantinas
en el arte de la transición. Cervantes utiliza intencionalmente el tópico del locus amoenus
para enlazar los episodios pastoriles y la historia cómico-realista de don Quijote y Sancho.
El rasgo más llamativo de estas cuidadas transiciones es que el locus amoenus, que correspondería
a los relatos pastoriles, se transfiere al nivel diegético primario, sustituyendo
al cronotopo hegemónico del camino real. La función de este procedimiento es suavizar
el tránsito al mundo de la bucólica. Por otra parte, este análisis nos ayuda a interpretar
los episodios pastoriles como contrapunto grave (Marcela y Grisóstomo, Leandra), y a
ver la siesta de don Quijote (Arcadia fingida) como el momento que inicia el declinar
del personaje.
Don Quixote’s pastoral episodes allow us to analyze Cervantes’s subtleness and irony in the art of transition. Cervantes intentionally uses the locus amoenus as a topos to link the pastoral episodes with the comic realistic story of Don Quixote and Sancho. The most striking feature of these meticulous transitions is that the locus amoenus, which would correspond to the pastoral stories, is transferred to the primary diegetic level, replacing the hegemonic chronotopos of the camino real. The role of this technique is to smooth the transition to the bucolic world. Moreover, this analysis helps us interpret the pastoral events as a tragic counterpoint (Marcela and Chrysostom, Leandra), and to perceive Don Quixote’s siesta (the “feigned Arcadia”) as the starting point of his decline
