Sumario:Fiction is a complex and multiform phenomenon. The wide territory that it occupies in social world and the different shapes which it adopts in human culture explain the plurality of approaches that have addressed the subject in the last decades. Such approaches have tried to defend fiction, facing the “doctrine of panfictionality”–as Ryan called it–, which tends to widen the concept of fiction so that it nearly gets assimilated to reality. This paper seeks to synthesize the principal aspects of the current debate on fiction. Firstly, we develop a critic review of “panfictionalism”, analyzing the ethical-political implications of erasing the boundaries between fiction and reality. Secondly, we consider the main approaches to fiction prevailing in the current state of the matter. We will see that fiction, as a complex and multidimensional problem, demands a politics of theory which transcends the critics of its social uses and which connects in a productive way with literary theory.
