De la influencia literaria a la huella textual

Abstract

This article considers the various reworkings which the old concept of "influence" has undergone during the course of this century in relation to the differing theoretical and critical tendencies that succeeded one another from positivism onwards, especially the growth of structuralim, deconstruction, the aesthetics of reading and the theory of multiple systems. Its conclusion is that the relationship between texts, which was the basis of the old concept, continues to offer guidelines and new approaches for Comparative Literature.
