From Autonomy to Relation The Idea of Literature in Transformation

Contemporary literature aims to be in touch with the world. It is oriented towards the future and the transformation of society, and has renounced the ideology of aesthetic autonomy. On the contrary, relationships are at the heart of writers' work: Accessing the other through empathy, rebuilding links, creating communities, bridging the distance that man has created with the environment and other living beings. Literature promises a genuine politics of relationship in reaction to a society in which fluid, competitive individualistic solitude has become the norm.
