“ Acting Out’ and ‘Working Through’ Departure in T. Pynchon’s Bleeding Edge.” Fernández Santiago, Miriam 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. 2024-02-26T08:36:07Z 2024-02-26T08:36:07Z 2019 journal article https://hdl.handle.net/10481/89529 eng open access
