- Do we have a model that explains why readers are able to believe that there are virtual objects such as facts, history, opinions, judgements and reality in writing? Literature has always renewed these illusions, making narration a fundamental tool for forming consciousness and the meaning of one's existence. But today, when the rules of knowledge have been monopolised by information and commercial and political communication, what awareness of storytelling needs to be regained? This essay traces the principles of an epistemology of narration based on feeling and participation, with the intention of restoring to literary communication a distinctive and cardinal role in cultural and economic life.
