«Aquí estamos todos locos»: The Bell Jar de Sylvia Plath como novela política
The Bell Jar, el roman à clef de Sylvia Plath ha sido sobre todo leída como novela autobiográfica clave para entender su suicidio. Esta novela, sin embargo, presenta una importante complejidad política: las contradicciones a las que Esther se enfrenta en los Estados Unidos de la década de los cincuenta, tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los ideales de femineidad inalcanzables y conflictivos, y la traición política que supone no cumplirlos, que son tratados como locura. El descenso a la locura de Esther Greenwood no es más que un reflejo de la sociedad enferma e hipócrita en la que vive, y un intento de escapar de sus obligaciones como americana. No obstante, la institución de la psiquiatría estaba estrechamente relacionada con la política de la época, y actuaba como medio de control de la población, especialmente de las mujeres, a través del uso de tratamientos como el electroshock y la lobotomía. En este ensayo me gustaría prestar atención a cómo las políticas de la Guerra Fría, el género, y la psiquiatría interaccionan en The Bell Jar para someter a la sociedad americana al conformismo y el consumismo que dominaron los años 50.

Gabriel's moon : a novel
Gabriel Dax is a young man haunted by the memories of his youth: every night, when sleep finally comes, he dreams about his childhood home in flames. His days are spent on the move as a travel writer, capturing the changing, intriguing landscapes of a world in the grip of the Cold War, and very occasionally couriering packages and obscure messages for his brother, whom he quietly suspects of being a spy. A tap on the shoulder, though, pulls Gabriel further into the shadows of his life, and into the orbit of Faith Green, a beguiling and persuasive MI6 handler. She soon makes Gabriel a seemingly irresistible offer: he must simply make a trip to Cadiz, Spain, and buy a painting, and in turn will receive a life-changing sum. But in that sun-drenched, suspicious sea town he will find more than just a paycheck and spy craft: in the rolling waves of Mediterranean, life-changing choices and consequences beckon.
The Underside of Politics
This book argues that during the Cold War modern political imagination was held captive by the split between two visions of universality reedom in the West versus social justice in the East by a culture of secrecy that tied national identity to national security. Examining post- 1945 American and Eastern European interpretive novels in dialogue with each other and with postfoundational democratic theory, The Underside of Politics brings to light the ideas, forces, and circumstances that shattered modernity's promises (such as secularization, autonomy, and rights) on both sides of the Iron Curtain. In this context, literary fictions by Kundera and Roth, Popescu and Coover, and DeLillo become global as they reveal the trials of popular sovereignty in the \"fog of the Cold War\" and trace the elements around which its world discourse or global picture is constructed: the atom bomb, Stalinist show trials, anticommunist propaganda, totalitarian terror, secret military operations, and political targeting.
The mise en abyme in The Drowned World by James G. Ballard
At the beginning of the 1960s, the New Wave of British science fiction sought to revitalise the genre by incorporating more contemporary themes (drugs, sex,criticism of consumerist society and the media) as well as new narrative and expressive formulas, with the aim of entering the mainstream. James G. Ballard was a forerunner of this trend thanks to a series of stories and experimental novels that embraced the worldviews of surrealism, situationism and nouveau roman. The mise en abyme, a recurring technique in this new body of work, was incorporated into the early novels by Ballard, a process which culminated with The Drowned World, in which the technique became highly complex. This articleexamines the three cases of mise en abyme in the novel, beginning with a theoretical discussion of this literary device, adding a certain Heideggerian approach related to the image of the world in art. The article then goes on to analyze in detail the paintings that operate as mises en abyme in the novel, classifying them and reflecting on their relationship with the work as a whole and the reader, as well as the significance in the renewing context of science fiction of the decade. A comienzos de los años sesenta, la New Wave de la ciencia ficción británica pretendió renovar el género incorporando nuevos temas acordes con la época (drogas, sexo, crítica a la sociedad de consumo y a los medios de comunicación) y nuevas fórmulas narrativas y expresivas con el objetivo de incorporarse a la literatura mainstream. James G. Ballard se situó a la cabeza de este movimiento con una serie de relatos y novelas experimentales que hacían suyos los postulados del surrealismo, el situacionismo y el nouveau roman. La mise en abyme, técnica recurrente en las nuevas narrativas, se incorporó a las primeras novelas ballardianas y especialmente a The Drowned World, en la que adquirió un alto grado de complejidad. Este artículo examina los tres casos de mise en abyme de esta novela, a partir de la discusión teórica sobre esta figura a la que se ha añadido un cierto enfoque heideggeriano relativo a la imagen del mundo en la obra artística. El artículo analiza pormenorizadamente las pinturas que operan como mises en abyme en la novela, las clasifica y reflexiona sobre su relación con el conjunto de la obra y frente al lector, así como su significación en el contexto renovador de la ciencia ficción de la década.
