Cómo la literatura gótica del siglo XIX ayudó a los científicos a desarrollar la categoría médica del psicópata criminal y el asesino en serie.


Criminales como Jeffrey Dahmer o Ted Bundy han cautivado al imaginario común, introduciendo el arquetipo del asesino en serie al vasto panteón de referentes culturales que comprendemos como la mitología del siglo XXI. Pero ¿de dónde viene nuestra macabra obsesión por estas figuras carentes de moralidad? ¿Cómo ha influido la producción artística en el desarrollo de la categoría científica del psicópata y del serial killer? Los avances de la investigación en las últimas décadas aúnan las diferentes causas de la psicopatía, sin embargo, es en la literatura gótica clásica donde podemos ver los primeros indicios de esta condición perturbadora. De modo sorprendente, este género dotó a los monstruos literarios de unos hechos definitorios del psicópata criminal y serial que la ciencia ha validado con el devenir del tiempo.


En los textos canónicos de los siglos XIX y XX la camaleónica figura del monstruo toma forma, hechizando a los lectores con su falta de escrúpulos. Baste con pensar en Frankenstein, El extraño caso de Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde, Drácula o El retrato de Dorian Gray. Desde que se abrió la reflexión sobre nuestra condición psicológica y moral, más autores han explorado mediante la literatura y el cine la inexplicable crueldad que arrastra al ser humano, como La isla del doctor Moreau, cuyo protagonista preconiza las atrocidades nazis del doctor Mengele, o El silencio de los corderos, que renovó para siempre el universo del psychokiller.


Este ensayo, novedoso y sugerente, nos brinda una simbiosis atractiva entre la literatura comparada y la criminología que nos ayuda a comprender cómo se ha ido forjando la personalidad del monstruo criminal a lo largo del tiempo.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


How 19th-century Gothic literature helped scientists develop the medical category of the criminal psychopath and serial killer.


Criminals like Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy have captivated the collective imagination, introducing the archetype of the serial killer into the vast pantheon of cultural references we understand as the mythology of the 21st century. But where does our macabre obsession with these morally void figures come from? How has artistic production influenced the development of the scientific category of the psychopath and the serial killer? Advances in research over the past decades have united the various causes of psychopathy; however, it is in classic Gothic literature where we can see the first signs of this unsettling condition. Surprisingly, this genre endowed literary monsters with defining traits of the criminal and serial psychopath that science has validated over time.


In the canonical texts of the 19th and 20th centuries, the chameleon-like figure of the monster takes shape, enchanting readers with its lack of scruples. Consider Frankenstein, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Dracula, or The Picture of Dorian Gray. Since the reflection on our psychological and moral condition began, more authors have explored, through literature and film, the inexplicable cruelty that drives humanity. For instance, The Island of Dr. Moreau, whose protagonist foreshadows the Nazi atrocities of Dr. Mengele, or The Silence of the Lambs, which forever transformed the psychokiller genre.


This innovative and thought-provoking essay offers an engaging symbiosis between comparative literature and criminology, helping us understand how the persona of the criminal monster has been forged over time.
