Article Title：Models of the world and literary topics:: Fictional construction in the service of the ideology of power
Abstract：
To sum up, by world views--we understand the cultural perception of the world we belong to. This concept of world views, that comes from the Semiotic of Culture developed by the School of Tartu-Moscow in the seventies, reaches an interesting scope in Literature as it offers information about cultural and ideological components that are part of any fictional transformation. In this article we have shown the relationship and disagreements established between real world and the cultural and literary/artistic view of the world. This cultural/literary/artistic views are shapes from a recreation of reality based on different interests. Fictional transformation can be a small one or can reach a high level of idealization, caricature or complete alteration. This fictional distortion must be analysed together with its scope, how it is produced, who has decided to produce it and why. We will find out that there are both cultural and ideological reasons and those who produce these transformations have often something to do with the ruling classes. By building these virtual worlds they are just trying to preserve their power, their privileges and their possessions.
