La imaginación desmadrada de Juan José Millás: humor y melancolía en La soledad era esto
This essay explores Juan José Millás's novel La soledad era esto (1990) as means of interrogating current appropriations of disenchantment and melancholy in discussions of contemporary Spanish culture and society. Through a detailed analysis of this novel as well as theoretical studies of affect, this essay aims to achieve three goals. First, to analyze how psychological and ideological processes of melancholy are transformed in Millás's text into a sort of autobiographical simulacrum that deliberately blends fiction and autobiography, thus laying the groundwork for a possible challenge to the tendency to reduce literary works to mere historical documents, and the creativity of writers to psychological diagnoses. Second, to reformulate the medical and political conception of melancholy in an aesthetic conception that locates a strange form of knowledge in black humor—understood both as melancholia in the Hippocratic tradition and as a comedy of despair. Finally, to examine how this reformulation of melancholy in humorous terms interrogates cultural critiques of "desencanto," insofar as such interpretations may themselves be self-referential and disenchanted—while melancholy may work as a model for hope.
El pacto ambiguo : de la novela autobiográfica a la autoficción
Las autoficciones son novelas que, como todas las novelas, nos dejan libres para imaginar como verdaderas las historias inventadas. Pero, al atribuir a su protagonista la misma identidad del autor, parecen comprometerse a ser veridicas como las autobiografias, sin asegurarlo. Esta estructura hibrida y su pacto ambiguo con el lector las convierten en una imagen de la actual deriva del sujeto y de la incertidumbre por la que se rige el mundo actual. Este libro define y explica el desarrollo hispano de esta tendencia literaria, la autoficcion, el nuevo gusto por presentar lo imaginario como real, o al reves, a traves de Unamuno, Azorin, Goytisolo, Umbral, Vila-Matas, Navarro, Llamazares, Garcia Soubriet, Cercas, Marias, Vargas Llosa, Aira y Vallejo.
