In “roman à these” A caverna, Saramago produces an representation artifice that permits to elucidate forms of dominance, whose analysis derives from the criticism of the functioning of the principle of the market that limits the State and delegitimizes forms of sociability already proposed, whether by its liberal phase or by the organized phase of late capitalism. At the same time, it reveals other sociabilities subordinated by modernity. It is emphasized how ethnical and political discourses fulfill the communicative conditions for a hermeneutic self-comprehension of collectivity, since they enable an authentic self- comprehension and lead to the criticism of a project of identity, in which it is necessary the fulfillment of certain conditions of a systematically non-deformed communication.
