My aim in this article is to make a triple movement: i) show how the questions made by cultural studies transform the spaces of legitimation of the literature in so far as are symptoms of important changes in the cultural sphere and in the own concept of culture; ii)demonstrate that the autonomy based exclusively in esthetic values of the literature is not possible in the contemporary context; and iii) understand the contemporary literature as an open space for a multiplicity of ways of life that find in oral literature their most significant process of semiotization.
