| Summary: | This article aspires to make possible a reading of Marsé's work that has transformative effects on the present. It takes as its starting point the “identification of capitalism with reality”: in our time the framework of all experience is to be an individual condemned to the infinite task of giving value to his life in competition with others and with himself. Attempts to tell the world differently tend to be reabsorbed by this framework. This is not, however, the experience of Marsé’s recurrent characters, defeated in the civil war (and in the class struggle), but capable of creating collective subaltern narratives that question the official versions of reality. It is concluded that the key to a transformative reading of Marsé in the present is to cultivate spaces of autonomous construction of meaning similar to those he recreates in his novels. Only from spaces in which the word can once again transform experience will we be able to coherently embrace Marsé's literary and political intervention. |
