Literary Life. Conceptual Delimitations

Abstract

The article aims to delineate the most important meanings and referents of the concept of literary life, from a sociological, functional-historical and systematic perspective, in the context of the evolution of the idea of literature from the anhistorical formalism of New Criticism to the pragmatics of sociosemiotics, whose contributions have been used to support the thesis that the system of literature and literary life function as a dynamic succession of mediations.
