Theory - Marxism and Literature :-

Literature:-

The language, written in an artistic way so as to be able to affect the mind of a man is known as liteature.

Major Things related with Literature : -

As regards the literature, it is necessary to think about the following things : -

What can we expect from the literature ?
Which literature can take the favour of hungry and penniless people ?
What type of literature is progressive ?

Factuality/Objectivity : -

As far as this topic is concerned, it is really objective/factual. But it is not subjective/personal. so, it has included true and weighty facts. In this sense, it seems to be natural to be the lack of statement and originality.

Contradictory Materialism :-

Specially, the great philosopher of the 21st century is Karl Marx, who can shake the world by means of thought. According to his view, 'Contradictory Materialism' is the weapon of proletariat group to be used for fighting against bourgeois.

Likewise, art-literature is also the important weapon of group-struggle. Litertature must be able to protest against the persons, who take possession of belongings, building the foundation for the people, who are struggling for existence and making the public wakeful.

Marxism and Social Structure : -

While talking about the Marxism, it is necessary to analyze about social structure. Indeed , social structure can be chiefly classfied into two categories in Marxist view-point. They are as follows:-

Base-Structure
Super-Structure

Base-Structure:-
Contemporary economic and social activities are included in base-structure.

Super-Structure:-
Likewise , contemporaneous religon, justice, education, thought, literature and art are included under the super-structure.

Philosophers before Marx:-

According to the philosophers before Marx, a person thinks on the basis of social super-structure or the thought of a person is also moving forward in that way in proportion to the justice, religon, education, thought, literature and art. Their thought was truly centered in the fact that it can be changed in base-structure by improving in super-structure.

Karl Marx:-

But on the contrary, Marx, who was a popular thinker and philosopher, properly reversed this idea and moved his idea forward in following ways:-




Thought of a person is the product of base-structure and his thinking moves forward according to his socio-economic context. so, it is inevitable to destroy base-structure to bring change in the consciousness of a person.
The development of super-structure, related with education, religon, justice, thought, art and literature etc is not possible without growing the person in economic and social level.
