Abstract
This work is an inmersion inside the first part of the works of the american writer William Burroughs. The center of it is Naked Lunch, his most famous novel. Through the lenght of this work we discuss how the the literature of this author faces the dominant ideology of the late capitalism as to its domination on the individuais subjects to its system, begining with junkies (people addicted to heroin) up to all the beings which compose it, In dialogue with some the strongest critics of this system, such as the philosophers Theodore W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer, the role of literatura is iluminated, especially in it most radical forms, inside the struggle to find freedom inside the political, social, economical, cultural, and bodily submission to the capitalist hegemony, its instititutions and forms of goverment.
