Manuel Vázquez Montalbán’s Pepe Carvalho detective novels comprise a seminal series, spanning eighteen novels from 1972 to 2004, that consolidated the novela negra as a popular, denunciatory genre in Spain. While much has been written about the early entries in the series, the latter novels, namely El hombre de mi vida (2000), Milenio I: Rumbo a Kabul, and Milenio II: En las antípodas (2004), have not received similar attention. Critics like Colmeiro, Balibrea, and Nichols have accurately read these novels as a denunciation of the most evident negative consequences of globalization at the turn of the new millennium, principally gentrification, displacement, and the exploitation of both labor and natural resources. Here, I expand this analysis to consider another of the deleterious effects of free-market rationality: The increasing personal alienation that has come to characterize modern neoliberal societies, a phenomenon recently analyzed by political philosophers like Brown (2015) and May (2012), and psychologists such as Verhaeghe (2014). I argue that, as the Carvalho character evolves throughout the series and neoliberalism achieves cultural hegemony, the depiction of the solitary protagonist in the final three novels denounces the growing isolation of the individual in a transnational society. This is reflected in the trope of the voyage, Carvalho’s nostalgic melancholia, and the progressively alienated condition of the marginalized detective as his relationships with others, tenuous in the best circumstances, begin to fully disintegrate.

La disparition du sud. Topologie des points cardinaux dans la série Carvalho de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán

La plupart des études ayant été menées jusqu’à présent sur la topologie des romans policiers de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán portent sur l’espace urbain, même si ses œuvres s’inscrivent aussi, d’emblée, dans une dimension européenne et intercontinentale. La présente contribution examine donc comment la série reconstruit d’un point de vue espagnol, depuis les années 1970, les significations que revêt le sud de l’Europe. Comparant les romans plus anciens de l’auteur et son œuvre tardive, elle décrit l’évolution des attributions culturelles qui, au fil des déplacements du détective Pepe Carvalho, font du nord et du sud, de l’ouest et de l’est les points de repère d’une quête idéologique de sens.
