Ideología lingüística e identidad nacional en tríptico de Marta Rojals

Abstract

This chapter examines key cultural, political, and literary issues intertwined within the postcrisis Catalan context. Through a detailed study of Marta Rojals’ novels, it offers a cross-analysis of formal literary elements with concepts from sociolinguistic studies and the framework surrounding the Normalització pujolista project and its connection to the culture of Spain’s Transition to democracy. The chapter sheds new light on some of the most prominent social and political conflicts in contemporary Catalonia since the collapse of the real estate bubble and the onset of the Catalan independence movement. Simultaneously, the author seeks to identify the elements driving the re-politicization of current Catalan narrative, considering factors such as linguistic conflict, national identity, and gender. The chapter also expands the understanding of what can be considered political in other literatures of the Spanish State.
