Abstract: | The private sphere is being influenced by fantasies and expectations constructed through cultural commodities. From different perspectives, Jameson and Castells have seen that the growing fusion of economic and cultural spheres of postmodern globalization point not just merely to a geographical expansion, but also to a simultaneous transformation of everyday life. This everyday life is often portrayed by mass media as a permanent representation of the market. This phenomenon pervades recent decades of Spanish society, in which a naturalization of consumerism is tightly linked to a culture of image production. These novels realize a parody of the way the everyday life of individuals affected by the financial crisis is interconnected with the utopian projections of an imaginary connectivity |
