Demythification in the Fiction of Miguel Delibes
This work offers a comprehensive examination of Miguel Delibes as a social critic who subtly questions, decenters, and demythifies the Francoist mythical values of a society in search of its essence, projected in the Nationalists' myth of heroism and the Crusade, the myth of detachment, stoicism, integration, and the myth of progress. This book seeks to demonstrate that the Franco government, like any totalitarian regime, appropriated myth as a tool for the dissemination of its ideology. This study is of unique importance because, unlike Goytisolo, Torrente Ballester, Martin-Santos, and Benet, who have been identified as demythifiers, no study has examined Delibes' fiction from the point of view of demythification.
Postmodernity in Spanish Fiction and Culture
Postmodernity in Spanish Fiction and Culture attempts a concise approach to the question of postmodernity in Spain since the advent of democracy. The study presents Spain as one of the most postmodern of all European nations and argues that exclusive social and cultural experiences such as the movida, the desencanto, political pasotismo, immigration, globalization, and terrorism are not only patently Spanish but also that in their totality, they constitute a powerful postmodern current in Spain.

Literatur als Lebensgeschichte
Kann die katastrophische Welt des 20. Jahrhunderts und der Gegenwart noch in Lebensgeschichten erzählt werden? Die Literatur hat hierauf mit neuen Formen und scharfen Reflexionen geantwortet. Sie hat das »emphatische Ich« der humanistischen Tradition dekonstruiert, zerstückelt, verräumlicht oder mehrfach belichtet. Auch haben Metabiographien und Dokufiktionen zu einem performativen Verständnis von Lebensgeschichten geführt. Die Beiträge in diesem Band eröffnen einen Querschnitt durch die europäische Literatur des 20. und frühen 21. Jahrhunderts. Sie legen die Verschiebungen offen, die das für unser Selbstverständnis so zentrale Muster der Lebensgeschichte in diesem Zeitraum erfahren hat.
