Abstract

This article aims to discuss the literary production of Enrique Vila-Matas under Marcel Duchamp’s personal and artistic path, as well as the concepts introduced by him in the artistic sphere, and decisive in what we nowadays understand as visual arts. Based on Duchamp, member of what Vila-Matas considers his “Creative Center”, the Catalan author introduces practices, reflections and concepts in his works adopting for this different procedures. In this sense, we highlight the notion of ready-made literature, a reflection on the production of contemporary authors with which Vila-Matas identifies.
Keywords: Contemporary literature. Visual arts. Enrique Vila-Matas. Marcel Duchamp. Ready-made.
