El encuentro dialógico de literatura y religión en el modelo de la parábola

Abstract

This paper aims to provide an interpretation of the inherent relationship between literature and religion. Indeed, from its condition of pretense (fictio, fictionis), literary fiction proposes to the reader a model or plausible figure of the represented reality. For its part, religion also offers a model or figure of the real; for the time being, a model of ideal, desired, desirable community, which also supposes an interpretation of that which it proposes to bring to fulfillment. This, which up to this point implies an operative similarity between two discourses, finds a point of contact in the teaching through the parables of the Jesus of the Gospels. From this file, the only imaginative display enables us to have an all-embracing view of literature as a trace of meaning.
