Abstract

From the half of the 20th century on, literary studies were flooded by several conceptions of the relation between literature and society, deviating from the views that used to conceive art as an isolated object. Affiliated to different chains of thought, a high number of authors ventured themselves into the task of analyzing the political dimension of fiction. Focusing on thinkers such as T. S. Eliot, Jacques Ranciére, Theodor Adorno, Gilles Deleuze and Wolfgang Iser, this article aims at presenting, in a neutral way, the points of convergence and separation between the authors, revealing the complexity of this rich subject.
