By taking into account Alain Finkelkraut’s concept of “intelligent heart” and confronting it with Steiner’s and Todorov’s views of literature and literary studies, a specific notion of literary experience is here proposed, as a way of freeing the literary phenomenon from the structuralist enclosure and opening it up to new possibilities of incidence in the world.porFinkielkrautLiteraturaEstudos literáriosHumanities’ crisisIntelligent heartLiterary experienceRole of literaturejournal article
