Abstract
El trabajo plantea la relevancia de la ensayística y la producción literaria de Juan Benet (1927-1993) como disenso y resistencia ante la pobreza intelectual en la España de la postguerra. Si bien hay autores que consideran su formalismo estetizante como elitista y alejada de la realidad social, pretendemos mostrar cómo esta postura constituye una ética de disenso y resistencia con respecto al poder fáctico y una continuidad con la riqueza y pluralidad cultural bajo la República. Se argumenta que el método primordial usado por el autor es el dialogismo, constituyendo el texto una especie de campo de batalla de ideas en oposición y en continua lucha. Finalmente, el pensamiento crítico de Benet sirve igualmente de puente en la construcción democrática del país en los años setenta, pero es vista también como de gran actualidad en la crisis de valores del mundo actual.
 
 The work raises the relevance of the essay and literary production of Juan Benet (1927-1993) as dissent and resistance to intellectual poverty in post-war Spain. Although there are authors who consider their aesthetic formalism as elitist and far from social reality, we intend to show how this position constitutes an ethic of dissensus and resistance with respect to the factual power and a continuity with the richness and cultural plurality under the previous Republic. It is argued that the primary method used by the author is dialogism, the text constituting a kind of battleground of ideas in opposition and in continuous struggle. Finally, Benet’s critical thinking also serves as a bridge in the democratic construction of the country in the 1970s, but it is also seen as very topical in the crisis of values in today’s world.
