Proyecto de Investigación: “Trauma, Cultura y Posthumanidad: La Definición del Ser en la Narrativa Norteamericana Actual” (FFI2015-63506P)Resumen
The present article reads post-traumatic anticipation in Thomas Pynchon’s Bleeding Edge (2013) against the elegiac and invective literary traditions in order to suggest a realignment of postmodern predicaments in reconciliation with the modernist tradition as a means to work through social and aesthetic trauma. I contend that Pynchon problematizes his typical luddite approach to the posthuman by means of an allegorical use of communication technologies as a site for ritual mourning.
