Sobre Todo

"Había viajado a Venecia en busca de un cuadro que conocía sólo a través de reprodu­ cciones fotográficas..." ( 12) se lee en las primeras páginas de la novela de Juan Manuel de Prada, que se desarrolla ante un trasfondo invernal decadentista en la ciudad de Venecia. El protagonista del texto es Alejandro Ballesteros, joven profesor universitario y especialista en arte, que nos va a preocupar en su función particular de yo-narrador, personaje-generador de la novela y sobre todo en su función de 'mitógrafo' para decirlo con las palabras de Ulrich Prill.2 El mitógrafo, según él, es el que al transformar e interpretar los elementos de un mito, al mismo tiempo los reconstruye y reproduce. El tema de nuestro artículo será entonces la revitalización, la reduplicación y la superposición de mitemas, discursos y estructuras literarias en una novela española del año 1997, premiada con el Planeta en el mismo año, una novela que -dicho sea de paso- provocó una fuerte polémica entre los críticos...

The Mind

Lope (Andrucha Waddington 2010) and Teresa (Ray Loriga 2007) have much in common. Both biopics center on a revered literary figure of the Spanish Golden Age. However, in spite of their many commonalities, these films embody two distinct tendencies in the contemporary literary biopic genre: one more “typical,” represented by Lope, that focuses heavily on plot development and another, represented by Teresa, that aspires to visually transpose to the screen aspects that relate to the main character’s interiority. Although Teresa has features of the “typical” contemporary literary biopic, it innovates the genre significantly by moving its focus from the life to the mind of the writer. Loriga uses the language of cinematography to depict the imagery and affective qualities of the mysticism of Teresa de Ávila—the force behind her writings—, creating a film that emphasizes image and emotions over plot. Teresa thus brings a different sensitivity to the literary biopic, which deviates from more formulaic films. Centering on the author’s mind can indeed be a new path for filmmakers to innovate the biopic genre, particularly in its literary strand. Finally, these two biopics illustrate the need to expand the scholarly conversation about the contemporary literary biopic genre, as they both engage with and deviate from the formula established by Anglo-Saxon biopics.

The functions and meanings of the global discourse of American and British rock in national literatures have hardly been studied so far. This article focuses on the very interesting case of Spanish literature after Franco. The central question is: How has rock functioned in the literature of the new Spain, both as intertext and as cultural memory? To be more specific, the main purpose of this contribution is to study the presence, functions and meanings of rock in the narratives of two leading authors of two generations of post-Franco novelists: Antonio Muñoz Molina (1956) and Ray Loriga (1967). Particular attention will be paid to the complicated processes of memory and oblivion articulated by explicit and implicit references to rock in the pivotal novels El jinete polaco (Muñoz Molina 1991) and Héroes (Loriga 1993), and to their functions and meanings in the historical-cultural process of memory and trauma in post-Franco Spain.
