O realismo na crítica literária de Lukács e Adorno

Abstract

This article proposes a discussion of realism based on the literary criticism od Lukács and Adorno. The notion of realism as representation of reality is seen against that one of reification as obfuscation of the world. Essays on Balzac, Dostoiévski, Kafka, Aldous Huxley, among others, help to specify approaches and evaculations of realism in the literary studies of both critics. It is also discussed how different conceptions of the individual and of the western humanism are related to their concepts of realism and the values of their literary criticism.
