- Title
'Yo procedo por explosión violenta y ruidosamente': Rereading the Political in Vicente Blasco Ibáñez’s fin-de-siècle Journalistic Production.

- Abstract
This essay proposes a re-examination of the ideological content in Vicente Blasco Ibáñez's journalistic production from 1894 to 1902. Centring on his republican paper El Pueblo (1894-1939), I argue that Hispanists have heretofore neglected the overtly political agenda of novels such as Arroz y tartana (1894), Flor de Mayo (1895), La barraca (1898), Entre naranjos (1900) and Cañas y barro (1902). Calling for a rereading of the Valencian cycle, I study the discursive tactics deployed by Blasco Ibáñez, in fiction and non-fiction form, as he unleashes a series of vitriolic attacks on a number of Restoration-era targets (turnismo, the Bourbon monarchy and the Catholic Church) while underscoring the exploitation of the proletariat.
