Abstract
¿Quién fue Augusto D’Halmar (1882-1950) y cuál fue su legado a las letras chile-nas e hispanoamericanas? A cien años de la primera publicación de Pasión y muerte del cura Deusto, la edición crítica de esta novela propone una lectura actual de dicha obra y, a través del rescate de diversos escritos críticos y académicos (Molloy, Alone, entre otros), instala al autor como a uno de los precursores iberoamericanos en re-gistrar en la literatura el deseo homosexual y los conflictos vividos por las comuni-dades LGBTQ reprimidas de la época. D’Halmar expone la Sevilla de comienzos del siglo xx como el espacio de la perdición, la bohemia y la lujuria, pero también de la religión, la devoción y la culpa, un lugar donde Deusto y el Aceitunita se ven atrapados por una relación pasional, divinal y escandalosa, que en la actualidad se presenta como un antecedente fundamental en los queer studies y la crítica literaria.
Who was Augusto D’Halmar (1882-1950), and what was his legacy to Chilean and Latin American literature? One hundred years after the first publication of Pasión y muerte del cura Deusto, the critical edition of this novel proposes a current reading of this work and through the rescue of various critical and academic writings (Molloy, Alone among others) establishes the author as one of the Ibero-American precur-sors in recording in literature homosexual desire and the conflicts experienced by the repressed LGBTQ communities of the time. D’Halmar presents Seville at the beginning of the 20th century as the space of perdition, bohemianism and lust, but also that of religion, devotion and guilt, a place where Deusto and Aceitunita are trapped by a passionate relationship, divine and scandalous, which is currently presented as a fundamental antecedent in queer studies and literary criticism.
