In Literature and Society proposed as starting point, a 'socio cultural reality "(Berger and Luckman): reality is not only alien to the human or also as a con-social construction, it is always within a given culture. The man-like King Midas-transforms everything it touches: the effect is the territory of men. Prada Oropeza takes up the Marxist proposal humanization of the world through human praxis to discuss the provision meaningless or semiosis. He states that "the practice human gives meaning to the world, builds the social world"(p. 19). We speak, then, of an interaction between the social and the man-world-culture which corresponds to a constant dialectical: the man is eminently social as their world and at same time, it is in this process.



Everyday language has meaning literal, consists signs whose function is to communicate. Reiterates, in the second chapter, the literature and cannot really understood as hierarchical terms, therefore, the verosimilitude of literary discourse cannot be reduced to a relationship with the actually, in principle, does not represent unified and preexisting human praxis.
