SARAMAGO, LIKE SARTRE, RECOVERING FROM FRENCH THE CONCEPT ENGAGED ART, MADE LITERATURE A PIONEER SPACE IN CONTEMPORARY LITERARY PRODUCTION. THE SARAMAGONIAN ENGAGEMENT LIES, NOT ONLY IN ITS ATTITUDE AS SUBJECT WHO STANDS ACTIVELY BEFORE THE DIFFERENT ISSUES AND PUBLIC ACTIONS, BUT ALSO BY MEANS OF THE REELABORATION OF WRITING AND THE ATTITUDE OF BRINGING IN HIS NARRATIVE WHAT CONCERNS TO THE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL GROUND OF HIS TIME. IN ESSAY ON LUCIDITY WE DO A READING OF HOW THE WRITER ELABORATES A NEW IDEOLOGICAL MODEL AND WHAT IT MEANS IN THE CONSTITUTION OF HIS WORK. IN ORDER TO PROPOSE A CRITICAL READING IN THIS WORK, A DISCUSSION OF IDEOLOGY IS RECOVERED FROM ALTHUSSER, SLAVOJ ŽIŽEK AND TERRY EAGLETON, SINCE OUR AIM RESORTS TO THE IDEA THAT SARAMAGO REPRINTS AN IDEOLOGICAL GESTURE TO LITERATURE. THE OUTCOME OF THIS DISCUSSION DEMONSTRATES THAT THIS ATTITUDE IS DEFINED BY THE CONSTANT ESCAPE OF ASPHYXIATING ALIENATION, GIVEN BY REFLECTION, INDIGNATION, PARTICIPATION A CONSTANT REINVENTION AS SINGS FOR A POSSIBLE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW WAYS OF INHABITING THE WORLD.
