Abstract

In Sacher-Masoch and Sade’s literature, life and work seem to be confused. That would be the price paid for the experimentation of body and writing. The truth is,as it will try to pose here, that the unity that shape life and writing in the novels of both displaces the horizon of personal experience. From the concepts of “critical” and “clinical”will be shown how fiction producesa logic of perversion in which a literary vitalism is put at stake.
