Abstract

This article revisit the thoughts of Fredric Jameson about the Third World Literature and the debate which follow towards his reflexions. We did a summary of the alterations and repairs that Jameson did of his thoughts during decades of critics and struggles. Finally, we present a hypothesis of lecture of the elaborations of the Warwick Research Collective (Wreck) as an answer to the critics that Jameson suffed and also as a continuation of his elaborations. Such the american critic as the collective of researchers represent with his teoretical contributions a way to debate the marxism and the area of postcolonial studies inside the literary field, starting from the Theory of the World-System and the Theory of Uneven and combined development, contributing to the problem of the World-Literatura.
