Literature: from psychology to form, from individual to a more complex reality

Abstract

With this article we intend, first, to demonstrate that every mimetic gesture undertaken by literature, every artistic form, is also the expression of a mode of subjectivity, as well as revealing a worldview. Then, that it would be mainly through formal aspects, and not necessarily discursive, that literature captures and represents reality more complexly, which in turn must be understood in a more subjective and less factual sense. Finally, reconciling the reaffirmation of the formal expressiveness of literature with a more subjective and complex conception of reality, we problematize the possibility of literature producing a less conclusive, assertive and much more autoironic, admittedly paradoxical, inconclusive and much more autoironic type of knowledge in relation to the world. metaphorical.
