The purpose of this article is to show how Isaac Rosa in "Tiza Roja" (2020) —a collection of fifty short stories— combines some narrative devices with those of the chronicle to represent the crisis that from 2008-2009 up to nowadays have been affecting Spain. He does so to emphasize the effects of crisis in individuals that occupy quite a marginal position in Spanish society. In that way he can create some counter-discourses that, defying the dominant vision of media, draw the attention on a bunch of «histories of life» capable of breaking the silence and involving the reader, compelling him to be aware of the necessity to act as a collective subject in the fight against capitalism.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to show how Isaac Rosa in "Tiza Roja" (2020) —a collection of fifty short stories— combines some narrative devices with those of the chronicle to represent the crisis that from 2008-2009 up to nowadays have been affecting Spain. He does so to emphasize the effects of crisis in individuals that occupy quite a marginal position in Spanish society. In that way he can create some counter-discourses that, defying the dominant vision of media, draw the attention on a bunch of «histories of life» capable of breaking the silence and involving the reader, compelling him to be aware of the necessity to act as a collective subject in the fight against capitalism.
En el presente artículo se mostrará cómo Isaac Rosa en la antología de cuentos "Tiza roja" (2020) retrata la(s) crisis que a partir de 2008-2009 ha(n) afectado España desde una perspectiva calidoscópica —centrada en diferentes experiencias subjetivas y concretas— para, hibridando los recursos de la narrativa breve y de la crónica, representar sus efectos en individuos que ocupan zonas no hegemónicas de la sociedad. Esto le permite tejer unos contrarrelatos de la(s) crisis que, en contraposición con la visión dominante de los medios de comunicación, se centran en «historias de vida» que rompen con el silencio e interpelan al lector para que tome conciencia de la necesidad de una acción colectiva solidaria con el fin de subvertir el sistema capitalista.
