description This article attempts to offer a new perspective on the infamous phenomenon of socialist realism. The author describes the literature of the period, the debates that revolved around it at the time, and the Marxist literary criticism and Marxist history of literature. An examination of the existing research paradigm leads her to recognize the need for its expansion and propose an analysis of socialist realism that relies on Pierre Bourdieu’s categories of distinction, symbolic capital and habitus.
