Impasse: Art, power and society in the Spanish state is a book that explores the relationship between art, power, and society in Spain. Published in 1997 by Ajuntament de Lleida, this 274-page book offers a deep insight into Spanish art in the context of its society and politics. With contributions from various authors, the book is written in Catalan and also includes translations into Spanish and English.
Juan Vicente Aliaga is a Spanish art critic who has written widely on contemporary conceptual art as well as on gender and queer theory. In his pioneer 1997 book Identidad y diferencia: sobre la cultura gay en España, co-authored with José Miguel G. Cortés, he expressed criticism of the assimilationist strategies of mainstream LGBT+ associations in Spain, advocating instead for a politics of difference and the reappropriation of slurs like "marica" and "maricón", similarly to what happened with "queer" in English-speaking countries.
