El problema del Estado y la literatura

Abstract

The possibility of Iberian Studies depends on its theoretical inventiveness after disarming the model that unites state, nation and culture in the social history of literature, especially if the complex conformation of the Spanish state in its relation with the territories of the peninsula is taken into account. The political modes in which literature intervenes among government apparatuses outside its official cultural mediations would thus gain prominence. At the same time, it is important to take into account its role in shaping and disseminating a State ideology. This implies a reflection on the role of literary criticism and a reconsideration of the notion of form.1
