Cristo como figura sapiencial: Régimen simbólico y retorno espiritual en Gastón Soublette.

Abstract

This article analyzes the figure of Christ in Gastón Soublette’s El Cristo preexistente as an operator of a symbolic regime of spiritual return. Through a hermeneutical analysis integrating Part I of the book, selected chapters from Part II, and the sym-bolic metalanguage of Rostro de hombre, it argues that Christ operates not as an object of doctrinal definition but as a sapiential figure articulating an originary matrix (Paradise, fall, lineages) with a critique of degraded civilizational mediations (city, king, language, knowledge). The analysis shows that return is not reduced to an interior journey but involves a reordering of experience and knowledge through symbols that resist the “monetization of being” (Durand) and the substitution of reality by discourse. The article’s contribution consists in reconstructing the specif-ic status of Christ as a criterion of discernment within the Paradise/fall/civilization horizon that other studies (Gálvez) have begun to stabilize in Soublette’s work.
