Los efectos persuasivos de la literatura ¿una posible cura para la anorexia?
Desde que la literatura existe hemos sospechado acerca del poder que ejerce en nuestras vidas. Los egipcios de la antigüedad, por ejemplo, atribuían a los papiros propiedades mágicas. Tanto es así que se animaba a los lectores achacados de alguna enfermedad a consumir estos documentos (disolviendo el papiro en una solución líquida) para que su potencial terapéutico alcanzase directamente sus organismos. Los tratados medievales contra la peste, por su parte, concedían una enorme importancia a ..

An Analysis of Class-as-Race and Gender Ideology in the US Young Adult Sports Novel Racing Savannah (2013)
Equine fiction is an established genre in the English juvenile literary canon. Current works in the field appeal to adolescent readers thanks to their interface between classic motifs of vintage and contemporary forms of equine narratives. Performing a close reading of selected passages in Miranda Kenneally’s Racing Savannah (2013), this paper acknowledges how this novel is a revitalization and a challenge to this pattern. Savannah, who is more gifted than her companions, is subordinate to the decisions of the junior of the household where she works. Jack Goodwin, the protagonist’s romantic lead, educated in a neocolonialist background of male jockeying, becomes Savannah’s marker of difference according to her sex and lower socioeconomic status, which lay at the root of her later racialization despite her being a white character. My analysis attempts to expose how these difficulties encountered by the protagonist to become a professional jockey articulate past and present constraints of the horse-racing ladder
Body awakening through athletics: A gender analysis of corporealities in Breathe, Annie, Breathe
Niching New Materialist Studies: Contemporary North American Young Adult Sports Fiction as Anorexia Bibliotherapy
The aim of this MA thesis is to evaluate from a sociological literary viewpoint the contemporary Young Adult Sports Fiction novel by North American author Miranda Kenneally Breathe, Annie, Breathe (2014). The novel’s representation of its athletically performing young woman protagonist is considered a cognitive and affective role model with potential for promoting functionally oriented corporeal understandings, concerning what the organism can sensibly do and be put to do. Readers with eating disorders and vulnerabilities to them, I propose, can reshape meanings and goals of projects in their life away from abjection as they read of the bodily in this light. In short, the suggestion extends to the claim that literary fiction produces role models which alter the very states of readers. Such states, given their mental status, can be explored from a neurological and cognitive perspective. In particular, Annie’s quest is taken as the beginning of a psychosomatic notion of well-being many North-American girls can feel engaged in. With fiction and corporeality thus examined, I suggest that this approach to literary studies opens a unique and novel spot in bibliotherapeutic and New Materalist studies, with crucial implications for the politics of the bodily.El objetivo de esta Tesis de Fin de Máster es el de analizar desde una perspectiva sociológico-literaria la novela contemporánea juvenil de deportes Breathe, Annie, Breathe (2014), de la autora estadounidense Miranda Kenneally. Se considera a la protagonista, una joven atleta, un modelo cognitivo y afectivo de referencia, en concreto para promover visiones funcionales de lo corporal, es decir, basadas en un tratamiento respetuoso del organismo. Defiendo la idea de que las jóvenes con trastornos de la alimentación o vulnerables a padecerlos pueden beneficiarse de esta lectura de lo corporal, alejada de la abyección, que está presente en la novela,. Propongo, además, que durante todo procesamiento lector de ficción se configuran modelos a seguir que influyen en las trayectorias cognitivas de su público lector. La naturaleza mental de tales procesos permite su estudio neurológico y cognitivo. El caso de la protagonista es, en conreto, un ejemplo para lectoras norteamericanas con potencialidades de modelaje psicosomático de su propia noción de bienestar. Sugiero, finalmente, que desarrollar la investigación literaria y de lo corpóreo desde este plano supone la apertura de un nicho académico en los estudios del Nuevo Materialismo y de la biblioterapia, con repercusiones vitales para las políticas de lo corpora
