Abstract

This paper will discuss some ideas and positions about contemporary literary criticism. Our goal is to develop a working hypothesis about its real status as well as to take into consideration some of its ascribed definitions and limits from the twentieth century on. We will argue that the context where this criticism emerges and the institutions related to it can be traced back to the nineteenth century.
