La novela política

Abstract

The widespread social unrest in Spain following the crisis led to the emergence of the 15M movement, which politicized the citizenry and catalyzed a renewed engagement with the literary field. Literary texts began to reveal the contradictions within the dominant ideology. These works contributed to processes of visibility by bringing to light issues that had previously been largely silenced or erased, such as precariousness, exploitation, class struggle, mechanisms of power, and various forms of violence against the body. The author defines these texts as political, drawing on Rancière’s concept of politics and Juan Carlos Rodríguez’s idea of the ideological unconscious.
