Book Description
¿Qué es la posmodernidad?, ¿vivimos en una era posmoderna?, ¿está ya superada o, incluso, ha existido alguna vez?, ¿cómo se relaciona con el arte y, en concreto, con la novela española de las últimas décadas? Estas son algunas de las preguntas a las que La novela española posmoderna, de M.a del Pilar Lozano Mijares, intenta dar respuesta. Estructurada en cuatro capítulos, la obra parte de un análisis antropológico y social de la posmodernidad en el ámbito de la experiencia, en tanto que nuevo modo de percibir la realidad, nueva estructura mental o episteme. También aborda la historia del concepto y las aportaciones de los teóricos que han protagonizado sus polémicas: Lyotard, Baudrillard, Jameson, Habermas... A continuación, esboza una trayectoria cronológica del posmodernismo en el arte y, desde esa perspectiva multidisciplinar, ofrece una posible teoría de la narrativa posmoderna no como una tendencia estética acotada, sino como un conjunto de estrategias temáticas y formales. Esta base teórica será el punto de partida para, por último, analizar la narrativa española de 1980 a 2000 en términos de posmodernismo, que se caracterizará por un doble desencanto (aquel que aúna el fin de las ilusiones del 68 -desencanto internacional- con el desengaño de nuestra Transición -desencanto nacional-) y por haber sufrido una evolución: de la oscura novela del desencanto de los años ochenta a la esperanzada novela de la aserción parcial de los noventa. El análisis práctico se centra en textos de Félix de Azúa, Lucía Etxebarria, Ángel García Galiano, Belén Gopegui, Andrés Ibáñez, Antonio Orejudo Utrilla, Clara Sánchez y Manuel Talens. Se trata de uno de los libros más completos, claros y útiles para comprender el tema de la posmodernidad, y sus relaciones con la novela española última, desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar.

Spanish Literature
Author: David William Foster
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 9780815335627
Category : Hispanic studies
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
Gathered to meet the rising upsurge of interest in Spain, this collection features major critical articles dealing with the authors and texts customarily taught in colleges and universities in the United States. The articles are in English and Spanish, with a predominance of the former. The material is organized to reflect the common chronological and period divisions of the academic curriculum, and is clustered around major literary figures, with a mix of general articles on the writers and texts that are most commonly included in anthologies. Spanish literature and culture have attracted a renewed interest since the return to constitutional democracy in the mid-1970s and the growing participation of Spain in the world economy and its incorporation into the European common market. Spanish literature balances a participation in the major literary movements of European literature in general with unique features of Hispanic culture that are a consequence of the special circumstances of its geography,especially the ways in which it historically served as a conduit to Europe of Arabic and Jewish cultures. Figures of international acclaim like Federico Garc'a Lorca, Miguel de Unamuno, and Jose Ortega y Gasset, Nobel prizewinners like Vicente Aleixandre and Camilo Jose Cela, the universality of Miguel de Cervantes, without whom the modern novel would not have been possible, the uniqueness of the Hispanic ballad tradition, mystic poets like San Juan de la Cruz and Santa Teresa Jesus, and the picaresque tradition are some of the major reference points for the singularity of Spanish literary culture. All of this literary activity has inspired innumerable dissertations, theses, and books, published by academic and trade presses, as well as articles in journals traditionally devoted to literary history and philosophy, along with new specialized journals and the organization of national and international congresses on national and cultural issues, writers, and schools of writing. These three volumesselect the most seminal works on Spanish literature and collect them in one place for scholars and students alike. This three volume collection of reprinted articles is also available as individual volumes priced at $80.00/Y [Can. $120.00/Y]: * Volume 1.Theoretical Debates0815335636 Volume 2.From Origins to the 18th Century0815335644 Volume 3.The Modern Period0185335652

The Cambridge Companion to the Spanish Novel
Author: Harriet Turner
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139826271
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
The Cambridge Companion to the Spanish Novel presents the development of the modern Spanish novel from 1600 to the present. Drawing on the combined legacies of Don Quijote and the traditions of the picaresque novel, these essays focus on the question of invention and experiment, on what constitutes the singular features of evolving fictional forms. It examines how the novel articulates the relationships between history and fiction, high and popular culture, art and ideology, and gender and society. Contributors highlight the role played by historical events and cultural contexts in the elaboration of the Spanish novel, which often takes a self-conscious stance toward literary tradition. Topics covered include the regional novel, women writers, and film and literature. This companionable survey, which includes a chronology and guide to further reading, conveys a vivid sense of the innovative techniques of the Spanish novel and of the debates surrounding it.

Postmodernity in Spanish Fiction and Culture
Author: Yaw Agawu-Kakraba
Publisher: University of Wales Press
ISBN: 0708322727
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
"Postmodernity in Spanish Fiction and Culture" is a compelling study that combines elements of cultural studies and literary studies in order to present an integrated cultural representation of the emergence of a postmodern social constitution of contemporary Spain. Marking a sweeping reposition from earlier works about postmodernity and postmodernism in Spain, "Postmodernity in Spanish Fiction and Culture" makes a strong connection between postmodernity as social and economic conditions that are the result of unique features of a Spain of the 20th and 21st century, and postmodernism as life-style experiences that manifest new cultural and artistic practices of the 1980s and beyond. The study examines postmodernity by relating it to those exclusive social and cultural experiences that are patently Spanish (the movida, desencanto, immigration, globalization, and terrorism) and concludes that by virtue of Spain's unique socio-cultural, economic, and political history, not only does the country emerge as one of the most postmodern of all European nations but also that the conditions that define the country's evolution from the mid 1980s to the present constitute a distinctively authentic postmodernity.

The Contemporary Spanish Novel
Author: Samuel Amell
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313018197
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Although there are several annotated bibliographies of contemporary Spanish novelists, this book covers critical works published on the post civil war Spanish novel as a literary form. The volume cites books and articles, and each citation is accompanied by a descriptive and evaluative annotation. The work contains a section of entries on books and another on articles. Entries within each section are arranged alphabetically. Included are entries primarily for studies published in English or Spanish, though some in Catalan, French, Galician, and Italian are also cited. In the last decades, there has been an explosion of critical works on the post civil war Spanish novel. This proliferation of material causes serious problems for scholars conducting research on the subject. While there are bibliographies of particular novelists, this book deals with general studies of trends, topics, and comparative approaches. The volume primarily cites works published in English or Spanish, but it also includes some in Catalan, French, Galician, and Italian. The volume is divided into two sections—books and articles. Within each section, entries are arranged alphabetically. Each citation is accompanied by a descriptive and evaluative annotation. The annotations provide information about the topic, content, and methodology of the works cited and express an opinion of the works' value. The length of the annotations varies according to the importance of the topic. Author and title indexes add to the utility of the work.

Coming into one's Own
Author: Alexis Grohmann
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900448826X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Javier Marías is a major contemporary Spanish novelist who has enjoyed remarkable international success and recognition. He is a writer who has undergone a singular and clearly discernible novelistic evolution and has forged a very distinctive style of his own. It is this formal development that this book traces through a study of his works from Los dominios del lobo (1971) to Negra espalda del tiempo (1998). With the help of a wide range of 20th-century literary theories and criticism, it strives to show that in order to escape realism and Spanishness and to make his way into literature, Marías forges an intricate style which progressively develops and matures, and which creates highly suggestive and elaborate imaginative worlds, a literature with a particular ontology, ultimately capable of inventing reality. This book is the first full-length study of Javier Marías's work to be published so far and serves both as an introduction to, and a close examination of, the work of a major European writer.

Between Market and Myth
Author: Katie J. Vater
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1684482232
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
In its early transition to democracy following Franco’s death in 1975, Spain rapidly embraced neoliberal practices and policies, some of which directly impacted cultural production. In a few short years, the country commercialized its art and literary markets, investing in “cultural tourism” as a tool for economic growth and urban renewal. The artist novel began to proliferate for the first time in a century, but these novels—about artists and art historians—have received little critical attention beyond the descriptive. In Between Market and Myth, Vater studies select authors—Julio Llamazares, Ángeles Caso, Clara Usón, Almudena Grandes, Nieves Herrero, Paloma Díaz-Mas, Lourdes Ortiz, and Enrique Vila-Matas—whose largely realist novels portray a clash between the myth of artistic freedom and artists’ willing recruitment or cooptation by market forces or political influence. Today, in an era of rising globalization, the artist novel proves ideal for examining authors' ambivalent notions of creative practice when political patronage and private sector investment complicate belief in artistic autonomy. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

International Postmodernism
Author: Johannes Willem Bertens
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9789027234452
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 622
Book Description
Containing more than fifty essays by major literary scholars, International Postmodernism divides into four main sections. The volume starts off with a section of eight introductory studies dealing with the subject from different points of view followed by a section that deals with postmodernism in other arts than literature, while a third section discusses renovations of narrative genres and other strategies and devices in postmodernist writing. The final and fourth section deals with the reception and processing of postmodernism in different parts of the world. Three important aspects add to the special character of International Postmodernism: The consistent distinction between postmodernity and postmodernism; equal attention to the making and diffusion of postmodernism and the workings of literature in general; and the focus on the text and the reader (i.e., the reader's knowledge, experience, interests, and competence) as crucial factors in text interpretation. This comprehensive study does not expressly focus on American postmodernism, although American interpretations of postmodernism are a major point of reference. The recognition that varying literary and cultural conditions in this world are bound to produce endless varieties of postmodernism made the editors, Hans Bertens and Douwe Fokkema, opt for the title International Postmodernism.
