Religiosidad y secularización en la narrativa contemporánea: Los besos en el pan de Almudena Grandes y El Dios dimite en la reunión cumbre de Nawal As-Sadawi: Un estudio socio-literario

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to highlight the concept of secularization in contemporary literature. In this light, this paper seeks to conduct a comparative analysis in two literary texts from different cultural backgrounds: Almudena Grandes' Kisses on the Bread and Nawal As-Sadawi 's God Resigns at the Summit Meeting . Although both writers utilize similar and shared concepts, they showcase some differences influenced by their cultural backgrounds. This comparative analysis will follow the principles of the American school of comparative literature combined with the sociological approach. The main aim is to examine features of secularization and reflect on the social contexts, represented in both texts. Furthermore, the study highlights some similarities and differences between the two writers.
