Abstract
Our research effort aims at applying concepts and methods proposed by Raymond Williams regarding creativity, culture, individuals and societies, and images of society on Don Quixote de Miguel de Cervantes, highlighting the sometimes total or partial success or failure of the identification of the two distinct descriptions and perspectives. The individual aims of the study, therefore, are initially focused on the identification and understanding of the two perspectives, on their following comparison, where this is possible, and on the application of Williams’ theory to the whole work of Don Quixote in the cases where corresponding and proposed concepts on the part of Cervantes are not identified. By broadening the concept of “culture”, the Welsh theorist succeeds in including areas of reality that until then were unable to penetrate the various theoretical descriptions and definitions, offering us a comprehensive perspective, which contributed, in turn, to a more complete understanding of man and society. A brief assessment of the two distinct perspectives emphasized the invaluable contribution of art to the study of cultural issues, as well as the need to broaden the approach with which we study cultural and social issues, in general, and with which we seek ways of interpreting and understanding society.
