In a time when an on-going process of global restructuring affects all the social; political and economic structures and processes; in an era of choices; of liquidity and of ambivalence; one critical issue emerges from all these restructuring processes: the central role of Humanities and particularly the role of literature. The aim of this paper is to relate the study of literature to the study of culture; bearing in mind that literary texts codify patterns and structures of feeling; becoming creative; ethical; aesthetic and political projects. By reading the literary texts in a practice of aesthetic and political concerns we put into perspective what seems to be the two torn parts; the two antinomies: high culture and common culture; in an inclusive process of the ideas; attitudes; practices; institutions; structures of power; economy; sociology; history; as well as the cultural practices; the artistic forms; the texts and the canons.
