The set of texts that come together under the title El cristal se venge were written by the theorist José Luis Brea between 2007 and 2010. The 33 texts that come together in this volume draw an expanded map of the critical work and cultural analysis that made by Brea, from and outside the online magazine Salonkritik. In them, nodes of thought and reflection are articulated in which cultural analysis, visual studies, and criticism of cultural policies intersect.
