Innovation and Networks in the Spanish Novel of the 1960s. Juan Goytisolo

This article reflects on the relationships between Spanish-American and Spanish literatures since Modernism, focusing on the transformation of the novel in the sixties, based on a study of the genealogy of the work of Juan Goytisolo. The work has three parts: a brief methodological part, which introduces the concept of literary Norm in relation to that of the world-system. The second part, much broader, frames the literary transformations in Spanish literature since the end of the 19th century, taking as its axis a 1964 essay by Octavio Paz on Ruben Dario, contextualizing his argument as dependent on the boom; the third part is dedicated to placing Juan Goytisolo on the general map, first, but fundamentally at the hinge between social realism and the new novel.
