Post-Civil War novelist Marse subverts iconic Catholic imagery in
ironic sub-textual commentary on political ideology. The
prize-winning novelist Juan Marse, born in Barcelona in 1933, is
widely-read not only within Spain but also in translation, for his
often provocative portrayals of life in post-war Barcelona. Clark's
study discusses Marse's engagement with Catholic popular culture,
Spanish National Catholicism and Catalan Catholic Nationalism,
exploring his subversion of iconic imagery as an ironic sub-textual
commentary on political ideology, by which he is able to experiment
with outer reality and inner reconstructions of experience. Dr
Clark shows how religious and profane visions of love are subtly
intertwined, how the tales told by children and the novel form
itself are interrelated, and finally how a variety of biblical
topoi, ranging from the Garden of Eden to the Song of Songs, are
deployed in Marse's fiction. Particular attention is paid to La
oscura historia de la prima Montse, Si te dicen que caand Im genes
y recuerdos. ROSEMARY CLARK lectures in the department of Spanish
and Portuguese, University of Cambridge. El novelista Juan Marse,
nacido en Barcelona en 1933 y ganador de varios premios
internacionales, es un autor muy leido no solamente en Espana sino
tambien en otros paises del mundo, a traves de traducciones, y su
obra se aprecia especialmente por sus descripciones provocativas de
la vida cotidiana en la Barcelona de posguerra. La monografia de
Clark analiza el profundo interes que sentia Marse por la cultura
popular catolica y el nacionalcatolicismo - tanto en su forma
espanola como en su forma catalana. Demuestra que la manera en qrse
utiliza los iconos y las proyeciones visuales del Catolicismo
constituye un comentario ironico y sutil sobre la ideologia
politica de la epoca franquista. Las novelas de Marse -
especialmente La oscura historia de latse, Si te dicen que cai y
Imagenes y recuerdos -- exploran los lindes entre la realidad
objetiva y la reconstruccion sujetiva de aquella realidad en el
mundo de la ficcion.
