The main objective of this book is to explain how contemporary
literatures in Spanish and Portuguese are dealing with artistic
creativity when artmaking is no longer a specialised field of
cultural production, but rather an expanded field of socioeconomic
interaction, personal and creative self-definition and collective
imagination. The project positions the contemporary art novel as
the most suitable place to understand how the economisation of
cultural labour is affecting writers and artists alike. The authors
examined in this book, including Jose Saramago, Rita Indiana
Hernandez, Maria Gainza, Mayra Santos Febres and Ondjaki (amongst
others) explore the contradictions of the art market, the dynamics
of art education, the multifaceted activity of curators and
socially engaged artists in relation to broader debates on the role
of culture in the configuration of socioeconomic dynamics. The book
maps a new trend within contemporary literature that taps into the
visual art system to reassess the role of literature in critical
ways.
