On The Ambivalence of Writing: Interpenetration of a Text and Socio-Political Context
The article considers the invariably relevant issue of mutual inclusion of socio-political context and text on the example of the famous Spanish novelist and philosopher Miguel de Unamuno. Works of literature “keep the memory” of a particular historical and political situation, which will be reflected in philosophical and journalistic essays and poetry, even if the writ- er is inclined to analyze social and political problems from a general humanistic perspective. The historical situation in Spain of the 30s of the 20th century has prompted an elderly thinker - the author of moral and ethical philosophical novels, essays and poetic cycles - to openly and decisively condemn the regime, which caused punitive sanctions and accelerated his death, as well as turned into a spiritual leader and symbol of anti-Franco humanism. The article is written taking into account the results of a surveytesting of Iberian Romance Department students. Given the reduction in classroom hours and the virtualization of the educational process, even key events in the historical and cultural process of the countries of the language being studied do not get adequate coverage, which deprives students of the opportunity to study the experience of other people’s mistakes, and history, as you know, develops in a spiral.
