La « génération innocente » : des « années de plomb » a « l’écriture en liberté »

Abstract

The « innocent generation » (creators born between 1924 and 1934) was profoundly affected by the civil war and the post-war period during which the Franco regime carried out a full-fledged concealment of reality. The guilty conscience of the bourgeoisie leads, during the 50’s, to an artistic commitment (social realism) called into question by political, socio-economical and cultural changes of the 60’. These transformations impose a new language coupled with a recreation through memory of the stolen time, setting the stage for a polysemous writing style contasting with the reductive monosemy of previous productions.
