The End of Literature; or, What Purposes Does It Continue to Serve?

This paper proposes to acknowledge the decline that has taken place, roughly since the 1950s, in the role of literature as a major mechanism of life models, whether conservative or innovatory, and consequently to re-evaluate the rationale of continuing literary studies as they are practiced today. This alleged decline does not mean that the use of non-practical texts, whether written or oral, has lost its various and often indispensable functions for socialization, developing skills or emotional intelligence. It essentially means that the centrality of the sociopolitical role fulfilled by such textsand not less significantly by its producers and promotershas now shifted to other industries. At the same time, within the context of intergroup competition for status based on the possession of symbolic goods, literature seems to have preserved its prestige value.

Intercultural competition over resources via contests for symbolic capitals

Intergroup competition over resources is attested since the dawn of history. Written and archaeological evidence go back to at least the fourth millennium BC. According to accepted views, evolution has favored humans because of their ability to have cumulative cultures, which has made flexible adaptation possible. One major aspect of this adaptation has been the ability to handle power contests without engaging physical force. Instead, increasing prestige dynamics has allowed contest management by displaying symbolic assets. These have growingly been instrumental in deterring external assaults, thus guaranteeing the possession – or expansion – of a group’s resources. However, while material assets are believed to create status by the evidence of their tangible usefulness (such as foods, husbandry and tools), symbolic assets are by definition subject to ongoing negotiation, entirely dependent on being socio-semiotically recognized as types of capital. Symbolic stock exchanges thus appear to have been determinative since antiquity in hierarchizing ethnic and political groups fighting over resources, prioritizing ones over the others. They have culminated in repertoires of more solid tangible and intangible assets, from impressive buildings, city gates, gardens and temples, to ideas such as freedom, quality of life and wealth, justice, personal security, or whatever values that have gained universal recognition. The article discusses the creation and expansion of such symbolic repertoires and their uncertain position in recent times.
