This thesis looks at the interrelation between literary journalism in contemporary Spain, or periodismo de arte in Francisco Umbral's words, and everyday life. Specifically I examine how weekly newspaper columns by fiction writers published in El Pais , a longstanding mainstream newspaper, and blogs published in FronteraD, an independent magazine of literary journalism, narrate, question, and redefine the two notions commonly considered transparent and thus overlooked: the everyday and reality. Drawing from Michel de Certeau, Ben Highmore, and other prominent scholars of everyday life, I argue that these diverse texts resist the idea that the everyday is a tangible reality that can be apprehended and described objectively and accurately in newspapers. They also reject the tendency of news media to portray daily life as dramatic and sensational, instead emphasizing its uneventfulness. I begin by exploring the indeterminacy and opaqueness of the everyday in Juan Jose Millas's newspaper columns. I argue that Millas shows that what is considered as "reality" is not the natural state of things, but rather a construct of language, culture, and dominant world-views. The following chapter examines how Manuel Vicent's columns redefine political and social criticism and challenge the dominant discourse. I contend that his decidedly literary style, his interest in the uneventfulness of everyday life, and his emphasis on universal moral virtues represent a more powerful form of resistance against social injustice than more flamboyant acts of rebellion. The final chapter looks at new perspectives that open up for periodismo de arte once it leaves the confines of mainstream newspapers and print media. I propose that FronteraD and Laura Ferrero's and Paco Gomez Nadal's blogs within this magazine mirror the instability and heterogeneity of the everyday through the dissolution of boundaries between media, genres, orality and literacy, and the crossing of cultural and geo-political borders between Spain and the Americas. My analysis ultimately shows that contemporary periodismo de arte in both form and content represents an alternative to the discourses and practices of the dominant ideology and to the style of traditional media thereby transforming the conventional newspaper reader into a more engaged and conscientious subject.
