Abstract
This paper aims to analyse the concept of literature in Foucault’s thoughts in the sixties. Departing from Foucault’s thoughts about the ontology of literature, we demonstrated that the emergence of literature was possible as a consequence of the modern experience. Foucault shows that literature is the manifestation of the being of the language in its relation with death. We discuss the relation of literary writing with the modern experience, pointing its limits in sexuality, language and madness. Literature is seen here as the derangement of language, where we can observe the creation of its deciphering principals. Through this article, we observe that the literary writing is characterized by a basic transgressivity that refuses all tradition: past or future. Keywords: literature, literary writing, modern experience.
