Tres teorías del conflicto intelectual: Randall Collins, Pierre Bourdieu y Harold Bloom

This article focuses on three conflict theories of intellectual creativity (by Randall Collins (born 1941), Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) and Harold Bloom (born 1930)). All three systems, despite their differences, are useful for literary theory and criticism. The purpose of this article is to explore them. Both, simple pseudo-sociological reductions and excessive academic textualizations are ineffectual for analyses of literary artifacts and intellectual creativity. Key words: Sociology, Collins, Bourdieu, Bloom, anxiety of influence.
