Abstract
Partiendo de Frye este trabajo pretende diferenciar entre mitología e ideología. En la Anatomía, se defiende que el estudio de la literatura debe ser autónomo respecto de sistemas filosóficos y de prejuicios y juicios de valor; se busca una perspectiva específicamente literaria que permita incluir todos los métodos. En obras posteriores, las reflexiones de Frye sobre el mito, la metáfora y la Biblia también esclarecen cuestiones sobre ideología. La literatura puede considerarse como vida del mito y la metáfora; trasciende la ideología y constituye una crítica de la crítica y de la vida. This essay tries to differentiate between mythology and ideology on the basis of Frye’s work. In the Anatomy, there is a defence of the autonomy of literary criticism against philosophical systems as well as against prejudice and value-judgements, and a search after a perspective where all methods can find their place. In later works, the reflections on myth, metaphor and the Bible shed also light on ideology. Literature may be seen as the life of myth and methafor, thus transcending ideology and being a critique of critique as well as of life.
