NeoBabilónico

NeoBabilónico is a Spanish literary movement that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is characterized by a complex and often fragmented narrative style, a fascination with urban landscapes, and a blending of high and low culture. The term "NeoBabilónico" itself suggests a return to or reinterpretation of ancient Babylonian themes and imagery, often filtered through a modern, disoriented perspective.

Key themes explored by NeoBabilónico writers include alienation, the search for identity in a chaotic modern world, and the critique of societal structures. There is a frequent use of dense, allusive language, incorporating elements of myth, history, and popular culture. The movement often delves into the darker aspects of human experience, exploring themes of desire, obsession, and existential angst.

While not a rigidly defined school with a manifesto, NeoBabilónico literature shares a common sensibility among its practitioners. Authors associated with this movement often experiment with form and structure, challenging traditional literary conventions. The urban environment is frequently depicted as a labyrinthine and disorienting space, mirroring the internal states of the characters. NeoBabilónico can be seen as a response to the social and cultural shifts occurring in Spain during the post-Franco era, a time of rapid modernization and societal introspection.
