Lacan, O’Neill, fragmentación, vergüenza, estadio del espejoResumen
Este artículo aborda la fragmentación en Asking for It (2015) de Louise O’Neill desde la perspectiva teórica del psicoanálisis y de acuerdo con las teorizaciones de Jacques Lacan. El artículo sostiene que Asking for It es un ejemplo de la reciente tendencia hacia la representación de la fragmentación en la escritura irlandesa del siglo XXI, especialmente en relación con el cuerpo femenino. El artículo proporciona una visión general del pensamiento de Lacan en lo relativo al estadio del espejo y ofrece un análisis de los mecanismos del deseo, la vergüenza y la fragmentación en su pensamiento, mostrando cómo estos brindan un prisma desde el que aproximarse a las experiencias de Emma O’Donovan – el personaje principal – en la mencionada novela. El artículo ofrece una lectura del deseo en el contexto del materialismo y el yo imaginado en las etapas iniciales de la novela, así como del cuerpo fracturado y fragmentado en las últimas etapas del texto.
