Abstract

What does literature speak about? Is it possible to individuate semantic or textual characteristics able to make us understand when a work is fiction or not? What do we mean by saying that the fact of knowing that a work is fiction determines our judgment and our being involved with it? This essay aims at reflecting and working on these questions in order to understand what is the relation between our reality and the reality literature speaks about, what is the role of imagination in producing and appreciating fiction and what are the different literary genres.
