    El Gran Inquisidor de F. Dostoievsky como El Soberano de C. Schmitt. Una aproximación a la tecnología política de la tríada milagro/misterio/autoridad
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2026) Prigorian, Nelly; Sin departamento asociado
    In the present work we try to understand the particularities of the system of power outlined in the chapter “Legend of the Grand Inquisitor”, from the novel The Brothers Karamazov by Fiodor Dostoyevsky, to review the funda-mentals of the political technology revealed there, using the concepts of Carl Schmitt expounded in his Political Theology. Special attention is paid to how Dostoevsky correlates Truth and Freedom in a system in which power is presented in the form of a Priest with Caesar’s sword in his hands. The hermeneutic method is used to interpret Dos-toevsky’s text and Schmitt’s texts dialogically, exposing the meanings of narrative metaphors and their correlations in Schmitt’s theory, in order to reveal the mechanisms of domination in politi-cal technology, presented in the “Legend of the Grand Inquisitor”.
