This posthumous volume brings together Juan Carlos Rodríguez’s major reflections, concluding his seminal Theory and History of Ideological Production trilogy. Focused on 17th-century Spanish literature (Góngora, Quevedo, Cervantes, Lope, Calderón), the book examines how literature and literary norms emerged within bourgeois subjectivity. It proposes a rigorous ideology theory that reads literature as a product and instrument of ideological exploitation—revealing how literary sacrality and canonization reflect social, economic, and political power structures. The edition, annotated by Juan Antonio Hernández García, restores what may be Rodríguez’s most significant unpublished work.
