Summary

In short, and as an introduction, the main disciplines corresponding to the study of literature are delimited: literary theory, critique and history. As refers to the analysis of Basque literature, the decisive importance and influence exercised by the university is underlined and, within the University, that of the Faculties of Basque Philology. The article shows a personal experience: the starting point, Paris, the so-called "new" critique in the nineteen-sixties and seventies, and the models of critique that have developed since then: aesthetics of reception, deconstruction... Mention is also made of certain characteristics of Basque literary analysis: linguistic analysis, the analysis that corresponds to the unification of the Basque language, the function of dialects in literary creation, etc. Finally, the relationships and differences between university and public or "journalistic" critique are examined.
