PEREZ-HIDALGO, Rubén. IN THE MARGINS OF IDEOLOGY: A POLITICAL APPROACH TO WORKING-CLASS LITERATURE OUTSIDE A CLASS-BASED ANALYSIS. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.11, pp.20-36. ISSN 2145-8987.

The literary critic Barbara Foley, following the debates around the essence of what constituted a proletarian literature after the Russian Revolution in 1917, points out the vague nature of these efforts within the cultural circles of the Left. It is not until the end of the 1930s that writers are pressed to come up with a taxonomy that fixed such literature in regards to its ability to convey a message from the perspective of the working-class. However, in this article I argue an anti-ideological approach and an analysis of how symbolic power is agglutinated through working-class aesthetics.

Palabras clave : working-class literature; marginality; Marxism; lumpen-proletariat; political theory.
