Cultura da conexão, paranoia, sociedade do cansaço e poéticas do romance como enciclopédia aberta

Na cultura da conexão, a sensação de excesso – de informação, de arquivos e de conexões – se faz mais presente. Tais fatores extraliterários influenciam a constituição do discurso literário, como apresenta Italo Calvino (1990), em Seis propostas do próximo milênio, quando discute o romance como enciclopédia aberta. O adjetivo “aberta”, ligado ao substantivo “enciclopédia”, estabelece a relação entre ontem e hoje, entre modernidade e hipermodernidade na cultura do Big Tech. A identificação do aspecto poliândrico da narrativa contemporânea por Carlos Ceia (2007) igualmente enriquece as possibilidades de leitura da poética do romance como enciclopédia aberta, conforme perspectivado nas poéticas de Thomas Pynchon e David Foster Wallace. Objetivamos, portanto, neste ensaio, apresentar aspectos sociais e históricos da era da informação, que auxiliam no entendimento da poética do romance como enciclopédia aberta.

Posthumanist trauma: An intrasectional approach to accountable determinacy in current North American narrative

How can we deal with trauma in a posthuman world? The 9th of September 2001 will be remembered as the day the world changed. The turn of the century in the Western world was signaled by this national trauma, but also by a change in the humanist paradigm that very much conditioned the way in which such trauma was experienced and represented.

Its methodological innovation lies in the application of Karen Barad’s concept of “intra-action” to the humanities.

Time and Anachronism in Pynchon's «Vineland»: a Genettean Analysis

El objetivo del Trabajo es analizar, desde una perspectiva genetteana del orden temporal, la incidencia que las numerosas anacronías presentes en el discurso de Vineland (1990), de Thomas Pynchon, tienen en el conjunto de la obra, bien a través de movimientos analépticos y prolépticos, bien mediante inmersiones en niveles hipodiegéticos. Para alcanzar dicho objetivo se presentará el marco teórico más utilizado en narratología, el propuesto por Gérard Genette. Asimismo, se observarán tanto las debilidades de esta propuesta en su aplicación sobre literatura postmodernista como la perspectiva más reciente de Brian McHale, a fin de establecer un modelo de análisis alternativo en aquellos discursos no secuenciales.

Textual Indigence in the Archive

Beginning with a profile of encyclopedic aspirations in Don DeLillo’s novel Underworld, this chapter extends the analysis through Moby-Dick by Herman Melville and The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann. These are among numerous instances of cultural and intellectual audacity characterized as the encyclopedic novel after the publication of Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. The analysis expands by recounting the history of the encyclopedia as a form emerging from the earlier genre of the anatomy. This legacy, pioneering the cross-referencing system familiar from reference works in general, is now thoroughly integrated into our computational search engines. The novels characterized as encyclopedic, however, turn out to resist the sense of instantaneity and rapidity evident in digital platforms, going so far as to find value in indigence, revealed as the art of non-compliance with compulsory forms of “progress.”

La transferencia literaria en Slow Learner de Thomas Pynchon

En este artículo se explora el concepto de transferencia del psicoanálisis en el ámbito de la teoría literaria. Formulamos el concepto de transferencia por medio de la enseñanza de Jacques Lacan. Una vez realizado esto, procedemos a la lectura de Slow Learner de Thomas Pynchon teniendo en cuenta la operacionalidad de este fenómeno. Localizamos un síntoma en/de nuestra lectura, problematizamos la transferencia literaria y argumentamos que el inconsciente es aquello que no deja de no escribirse. Discutimos esa formulación y exploramos la escritura como sinthome. Concluimos con la discusión sobre la transferencia negativa y nos abrimos a la importancia política de la literacidad.
