This research topic aims to study the relationships between literature, politics and power, and the different models of ideological response that construct poetic, narrative, dramatic and essayistic discourses, considering the modes of commitment, criticism or subversion, both at thematic and formal levels, understood from a perspective that takes into account the correlation between social, cultural, ideological, and poetic series. This relationship is understood, therefore, as an unavoidable dialogue between text and context, and for this reason special attention will be paid to the interaction of literary discourses with the different discourses of power, both cultural and political.

Traditionally, identity (national, cultural, etc.) has been defined and established on the basis of opposition. Since the end of the 20th century, however, there has been an attempt to destroy those barriers based on opposition that perpetuate the conflict between nations, sexes, ethnic groups... In fact, the beginning of comparative literature is none other than the encounter with the other, with foreign literary texts and with cultures different from our own. Therefore, from this perspective, intercultural studies will be used, capable of focusing on historical-cultural, political and social issues related to contact between different peoples and cultures.

It is a question of investigating gender issues by putting them in relation to social ideological constructions, which will also allow us to address the way and objectives with which authors self-construct in their texts and paratexts. But if gender is essential in social ideological constructions, the ecological perspective is no less so today, which provides the reader with the possibility of changing his or her view of the world through what has come to be called ecocriticism or ecopoetics. Therefore, if we want to study the relationship between literature and ideology, it is essential in the 21st century to take into account the feminist perspective, but also the ecological perspective, which allows us to connect literary research with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda.
