L'Antifascisme en littérature

Rate this book
Les trois essais réunis dans cet ouvrage, écrits entre 1938 et 1942 et dont deux sont inédits en français, montrent comment la littérature peut succomber ou au contraire défier le fascisme. Pour Lukács, la force politique d'une oeuvre ne se réduit pas aux prises de position de l'auteur. C'est la forme littéraire elle-même, dans sa capacité à saisir la réalité, à s'emparer de l'essence d'un moment historique, qui détermine le caractère progressiste d'une oeuvre. Face à la démagogie et à la propagande fasciste, le penseur hongrois montre comment les auteurs antifascistes se placent du côté de la vérité, déchirent le voile de l'obscurantisme pour éclairer politiquement les chemins de l'avenir.

About the author

György Lukács

447 books401 followers
György Lukács was a Hungarian Marxist philosopher, aesthetician, literary historian and critic. He is a founder of the tradition of Western Marxism, an interpretive tradition that departed from the Marxist ideological orthodoxy of the Soviet Union. He developed the theory of reification, and contributed to Marxist theory with developments of Karl Marx's theory of class consciousness. He was also a philosopher of Leninism. He ideologically developed and organised Lenin's pragmatic revolutionary practices into the formal philosophy of vanguard-party revolution.

His literary criticism was influential in thinking about realism and about the novel as a literary genre. He served briefly as Hungary's Minister of Culture as part of the government of the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic.
