 INTRODUCTION

• LITERATURE HAS BEEN CONSIDERED THE WAY TO EXPRESS

A CULTURE, A NATION, A LANGUAGE, A TIME OR A GENRE.
BUT LITERATURE IS NOT LIMITED ONLY TO WHAT IS
WRITTEN, BUT ALSO WHAT PASSES THROUGH THE
TRADITION OF WORD OF MOUTH TO THIS DAY, AS
HAPPENED WITH CLASSICAL ORIENTAL LITERATURE. THIS
IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION HAS ALLOWED US TO
CONSIDER WRITTEN AS LITERATURE AND ALL WORKS
PRIOR TO THE INVENTION OF THE PRINTING PRESS,
ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN TRANSMITTED
BY BUT ORALLY, THAT IS, FOLKLORE, TRADITIONAL TALES,
THE JOKES AND EVEN THE SAYINGS THAT HAVE BEEN ON
THE LIPS OF THE PEOPLE. THUS, THIS WORK HAS TRIED TO
SYNTHESIZE ALL LITERARY EXPRESSIONS THROUGHOUT
HISTORY, FROM LONG BEFORE CHRIST TO CONTEMPORARY
DEVELOPMENT
• HOW DOES LITERATURE HAS
BEEN DESAPPEARING
THROUGH THE YEARS?
1. IT HAS HAD HIGHER COST IN BOOK’S PRICE

2. THERE HAVE APPEARED NEW SOCIAL

NETWORKS AND ALSO INTERNET

3. SMARTPHONES, VIDEOGAMES & STREAMING

PLATAFORMS HAVE STARTED TO GET
CONSUMED BY NEW GENERATIONS
 1. IT HAS HAD HIGHER COST IN BOOK’S PRICE

• THE HIGH COST OF THE PRICE OF BOOKS

TODAY HAS INCREASED AND IT HAS NOT
BEEN VERY ACCESSIBLE TO ALMOST ANY
OF THE PEOPLE TODAY. LITERATURE IS THE
ART WHERE ITS GREATEST EXPONENT HAS
BEEN THE WRITTEN WORD, ORAL AND
WRITTEN LITERATURE HAVE BEEN
COMMONLY FOUND IN BOOKS, BUT
UNFORTUNATELY THE HIGH COST OF
BOOKS TODAY HAS CAUSED DISINTEREST
IN LITERATURE, AND IT IS VERY SAD
BECAUSE LITERATURE IS THE ART WHERE
ITS GREATEST EXPONENT IS, HAS BEEN
 2.- THERE HAVE APPEARED NEW SOCIAL NETWORKS AND ALSO INTERNET

• ACCESS TO NEW SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY FREQUENT IN
ALMOST ALL GENERATIONS, WHICH HAS
GENERATED A GREAT DISINTEREST IN
LITERATURE, SINCE THE CONTENT IS
USUALLY NOT VERY EDUCATIONAL AND
LITERARY.
 3.-SMARTPHONES, VIDEOGAMES & STREAMING PLATAFORMS HAVE STARTED TO GET CONSUMED BY NEW GENERATIONS

• THE FACT THAT THEY ARE BEGINNING TO CONSUME NEW TECHNOLOGIES AT AN

EARLY AGE, HAS ALREADY BEEN VERY COMMON IN THE NEW GENERATIONS,
INCLUDING BABIES, CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS AND EVEN ADULTS, AND THE
PREFERENCE HAS BEEN BETWEEN A SMARTPHONE OR TABLET, VERSUS A
LITERARY WORK LIKE MOVIE DICK IS GOING TO BE GREATER DUE TO THE LACK
OF INTEREST IN LITERATURE THAT HAS NOT BEEN AVAILABLE TO ALL THESE
NEW TECHNOLOGIES, INCLUDING VIDEO GAME CONSOLES WITH HIGH-TECH
HOW ART INFLUNCES
LIFES ?

• OUR THOUGHTS HAD BEEN

COMUNICATTED

• OUR EMOTIONS HAVE BEEN

COMUNICATED

• OUR FEELINGS HAVE BEEN

 • OUR THOUGHTS HAD BEEN
COMUNICATTED
• ART HAS BEEN INTIMATELY RELATED TO HUMAN NATURE. THE DIFFERENT
FORMS THAT HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED IN AN ARTISTIC WAY, HAVE
CORRESPONDED TO THE NEED OR, RATHER, TO THE FUNDAMENTAL
CHARACTERISTIC THAT THE HUMAN BEING HAS EXPRESSED AND HAS
POSSESSED.
• OUR EMOTIONS HAVE BEEN COMUNICATED

• ART HAS BEEN PLAYING A MEDIATING ROLE AND COMMUNICATION ENGINE,

SINCE THE ARTIST THROUGH HIS CREATION HAS TRANSMITTED NOT ONLY
EMOTIONS, BUT ALSO MESSAGES, AND HAS MADE US REFLECT ON OUR
EXISTENCE, SOCIAL PROBLEMS OR LIFE IN GENERAL.
• OUR FEELINGS HAVE BEEN TRASMITTED

• ART HAS BEEN ABLE TO BRING PEACE, HAPPINESS, LOVE, HOPE TO HUMAN
BEINGS: FOR EXAMPLE, IN SITUATIONS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE NEEDED TO LISTEN
TO MUSIC TO CURE THEIR SADNESS, OR HAVE BEEN WATCHING THEATRICAL
COMEDIES IN ORDER TO LAUGH, OR EVEN HAVE THEY HAVE BEEN WATCHING
MOVIES TO DREAM OR THEY HAVE SIMPLY HAD FUN AND THUS THEY HAVE
LEARNED ABOUT THE PAST, AND HAVE EVEN LEARNED TO CONTEMPLATE
• WHY IS IMPORTANT TO THE CULTURE?
 • WHY IS IMPORTANT TO THE CULTURE?

• ART AND CULTURE HAVE BEEN, IN ADDITION TO PRODUCTS, THEY HAVE ALSO
BEEN MIRRORS OF SOCIETY. THEY TELL US HOW WE ARE, WHAT HAS MOVED US
AND WHAT KEEPS US MOVING; WHAT HAS CONCERNED US, WHAT WE ASPIRE TO.
THEY HAVE ALSO GIVEN US COHESION AND IDENTITY. THUS, THE HISTORY OF
ART HAS HELPED US TO FIND IN THE PAST ELEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN
TRANSCENDING THE AESTHETIC, WHAT HAS BEEN COMPLEMENTED OR THE
• LIKE IT OR NOT, THE CULTURE WE HAVE HAD HAS AFFECTED OUR DAILY LIVES.
FROM THE LANGUAGE WITH WHICH WE HAVE EXPRESSED OURSELVES, THE
BOOKS WE HAVE READ, THE MOVIES WE HAVE BEEN PREFERRING... EVERYTHING
THAT HAS BEEN ENJOYED AND HOW WHAT WE HAVE DONE HAS BEEN MARKED
BY THE CULTURE IN WHICH WE HAVE DEVELOPED .
 COMMENTS

• IT IS OF GREAT PROJECTION TO THINK ABOUT HOW LITERATURE AND ART HAVE BEEN
INFLUENTIAL BOTH IN SOCIETY AND IN CULTURE, ALL THAT IT HAD ENTAILED AND WHAT
HAD REPRESENTED THE ENTIRE CULTURAL MOVEMENT THAT REPRESENTS ART AND
LITERATURE FOR CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF AN ETHNIC GROUP, A GROUP OR A GROUP
OF 2 OR MORE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SOUGHT TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES IN A CULTURAL
ENVIRONMENT, WHETHER IN DANCE, MUSIC, THEATER, POETRY, ETC. BUT IT HAS ALSO
BEEN DISAPPOINTING TO SEE HOW OVER THE YEARS THEY HAD PASSED AND HOW
INTEREST IN LITERATURE AND ART GRADUALLY BEGAN TO BECOME VIRTUAL, WE BEGAN
TO FREQUENT IT VERY LITTLE, SOMETIMES IT HAS EVEN BEEN AVOIDED AND WE PREFER
NEW TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE AT OUR FINGERTIPS, THAT HAVE
ENTERTAINMENT TOOLS THAT ARE MORE FEASIBLE AND DIFFERENT FROM EVERYTHING
THAT LITERATURE HAD ENTAILED AND ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOT MUCH MONEY FOR
BOOKS, WE HAVE BEEN BEGINNING TO PREFER TO SPEND ON TABLETS, IPHONES OR A
PLAYSTATION TO A LITERATURE BOOK OR SOME LITERARY WORK THAT WOULD HAVE
BEEN OF GREAT CULTURAL UTILITY
 CONCLUSION
• ART HAS HAD A PRACTICAL FUNCTION WHEN TRYING TO SATISFY NEEDS SUCH AS RECREATION,
DISTRACTION, THE ENCOUNTER WITH ONESELF; IT HAS PROVOKED FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS, IT HAS
AWAKENED ASTONISHMENT OR ADMIRATION FOR THE BEAUTY IN THOSE WHO AWAIT IT; IT IS A REFLECTION
OF REALITY, SINCE IT HAS BEEN AN IDEAL WAY TO CAPTURE THE WORLD, OF THE WAY OF LIFE OF THE
VARIOUS CULTURES AND CIVILIZATIONS THAT HAVE HAPPENED OVER TIME. ART IS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE IN
EDUCATION, SINCE IT HAS HELPED TO GENERATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF CREATIVE EXPRESSION THAT
EVERYONE BRINGS WITH THEM, AND HAS HELPED TO STIMULATE BOTH SOCIAL AND MORAL QUALITIES AND
VALUES ​AND SELF-ESTEEM. AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS INTENDED TO INTRODUCE THE PERSON TO THE
FASCINATING TASK OF CREATIVITY, SENSITIVITY, APPRECIATION AND ARTISTIC EXPRESSION, FACTORS THAT
HAVE BEEN USING THE CREATIVE AND SOCIAL SPIRIT OF EACH INDIVIDUAL. ART HAS BEEN SO VALUABLE TO
OUR SOCIETY THAT IT MUST HAVE STARTED VERY EARLY IN THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM TO HAVE TAUGHT IT.
WHEN A PERSON DRAWS, THEY HAVE TOLD US WHAT THE WORLD IS LIKE AND HOW THEY LIVE; FOR MANY,
ART HAS BEEN A MEANS OF EXPRESSION, IT HAS CONNECTED THEM DIRECTLY WITH THEIR FEELINGS,
THOUGHTS AND ILLUSIONS.
