| Summary: | We aim at exploring the concept of ‘literary culture’, not only seeing it as an acquisition of a given literary memory, but also understanding literary culture and literature itself as Weltanschauung. We will emphasize the creative competence of literature whilst promoter of a critic-interpretative analysis of a society in which the author and the reader are circumstantiated. We will conceive literature as a space of creation, either being an imagetic construction or a reflexion about our world. Thus we aspire at emphasizing the interventive power of literature in society, taking the essay as an example.The essay is a force of social polemics that aims at an effective action, with the advantage of having a three-fold perspective of reality. Science, Philosophy and Literature in osmosis allow the essay to artistically interfere and to intervene in human reality. As a consequence, the essay is a life literacy that allows to interpret and to modify it. |
