Main Article Content

Pablo Valdivia
The article proposes a set of keys for a first approach to the study of the Spanish novelistic production around the 2008 financial crisis and its repercussions. Firstly, we contextualize the main research lines that have attended these recent object of study. Secondly, we pose a model of analysis based in thematic operational nuclei, while problematizing the term “novel of the crisis” used by the majority of the Spanish cultural critics. Thirdly, we explore a case study, the novel Cenital (2012) by Emilio Bueso, as an example of the creation of an alternative imaginary of the antecedents of the crisis. Lastly, we propose a new concept, “disinherited literature”, as an entry point to the novelistic corpus that has narrated the historical landmark of the 2008 crisis.
