Article Title:Narration as reading in Juan Goytisolo
Abstract:
Goytisolo's parodic discourse focalizes this analysis of contemporary aesthetics transcending national boundaries to offer an apocalyptic vision of global culture. The globalization of culture impacts the authorial creative process, no longer individual or solitary but interconnected and interdialogic, reflecting upon multiple texts from the cultural repertory and aimed at establishing interconnections, rearranging hierarchies and restructuring dominant cultural principles. The prevailing intertextual modality cites indiscriminately, grouping disparate components to disrupt conventional hierarchies, eclectically combining and recycling forms which are incompatible. Goytisolo represents a limited counter-tendancy, making his a voice of dissidence. His aesthetics, primarily critical and analytical, aim to examine literature, cultural icons and ideologies. Rejecting conventional divisions between creative and critical language, Goytisolo selects [inter]texts that project his peculiar literary and ethical vision vis-a-vis the national reality. Progressively excluding the occidental paradigm in favor of the oriental Other, he considers key [inter]texts to uncover and deconstruct the bases of culture, ethical and moral difference, proceeding from the national unconscious.
