Description
This text aims at articulating some ideas concerning the present state and the perspectives for the future of literary studies, and, in general, of humanistic studies within the university. Considering there is a hegemonic framework in the evaluation of human actions and artefacts whereby the old cognitive, ethical and aesthetical standards have been replaced by criteria of efficacy (as input-output ratio), it is argued that there might be a future for literary studies in a relocation of human meanings and values – truth, good, beauty – at the now empty centre of human creativity and its results.
