Resumen de Un Coreógrafo De Escenas Amorosas: Die Theorie der Verführung oder Verführung als Theorie in der Décadence und im Modernismo
The article examines – based on Tirso de Molinas archetype Don Juan in El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra (around 1620) – how Don Juan is transformed and gets closer to the aesthetical composition of the figure of the dandy at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century in French and Spanish literature (illustrated and analysed by Ramón del Valle-Inclán's narrative cycle Sonatas [1902–1905] and Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly's tale Le plus bel amour de Don Juan, 1842). These, in comparison to former interpretations, innovative approaches to the myth of Don Juan and his literary-aesthetic transpositions in Modernismo and Décadence are illustrated and elaborated on the motif of seduction.
