oai:bibliotecavirtual.unl.edu.ar:article-118932022-08-12T15:52:29Z Literature, capitalism and revolution Literatura, capitalismo y revolución Martínez Matías, Paloma This paper analyzes the relationship that Walter Benjamin establishes between literary criticism and politics through the study of the two most relevant essays that he devotes to literary creation in France and in which he gives a prominent position to surrealism. In both essays Benjamin examines the role that intellectuals play in capitalist society by adopting a political position that openly advocates the revolutionary path to solve the structural problems generated by capitalism. Thus, his reflections on the twentieth –century French novel, as well as his interpretation of André Breton’s novel Nadja, will be used as a basis for providing an interim answer to questions concerning Benjamin’s view of the alleged autonomy of art, the theoretical referents that determine his understanding of revolution and how he conceives the work of literary criticism in this context. Este trabajo analiza la relación que Walter Benjamin establece entre la crítica literaria y la política a través del estudio de los dos ensayos más relevantes que dedica a la creación literaria en Francia y en los que concede una posición destacada al surrealismo. En ambos ensayos Benjamin examina cuál es la función que los intelectuales ejercen en la sociedad capitalista adoptando una posición política que se pronuncia abiertamente por la vía revolucionaria para resolver los problemas estructurales que genera el capitalismo. Por ello, sus reflexiones sobre la novela francesa del siglo XX, así como su interpretación de la novela de André Breton, Nadja, se utilizarán como base para ofrecer una respuesta provisional a cuestiones que afectan a la visión de Benjamin sobre la presunta autonomía del arte, a los referentes teóricos que determinan su comprensión de la revolución y al modo en que concibe en este contexto el quehacer de la crítica literaria.
