Based on the contribution of Palestinian literary critic and thinker Said (1983), who coined the term “secular criticism,” this article analyzes the possibility of applying this concept to the process of teaching literature at elementary, secondary and college levels. We should understand secular criticism as the mode of textual analysis that sees literature inherently linked to human experiences, social realities in which it is produced and to the institutions of power that consent or suppress it. The main proposal of the article will be to suggest a methodology to approach literary texts in the classroom from a mundane perspective; that is, linking them to the outside world. In this sense, and using primary literary sources as examples, as well as literary theory, the article will propose turning the study of literature into a tool to analyze, question and challenge the realities that produce it.

Con base en el aporte del crítico literario y pensador palestino Said (1983), quien acuña el término “crítica secular,” este artículo analiza la posibilidad de aplicar dicho concepto a la enseñanza de la literatura, tanto en niveles de educación primaria y secundaria, como en niveles superiores. Por crítica secular se debe entender el modo de análisis textual que ve a la literatura inherentemente ligada a las experiencias humanas, a las realidades sociales de los contextos en que es producida y a las instituciones de poder que la propician o la reprimen. La principal propuesta será, entonces, el plantear una metodología para abordar, en el salón de clase, los textos literarios desde una perspectiva mundana; es decir, ligándolos al mundo exterior, al que está fuera de las aulas. En este sentido, y utilizando tanto ejemplos textuales primarios como teoría literaria, el artículo propondrá convertir el estudio de la literatura en una herramienta de análisis, cuestionamiento, desafío y cambio de las realidades que la producen.
