Resumen
RAMOS VAN DICK, Manuel. Numbness/Narcosis: Closed system Poem: Open system Vallejo as an antinarcotic. Desde el Sur [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.2, pp.127-148. ISSN 2076-2674. http://dx.doi.org/10.21142/DES-1102-2019-127-148.
The purpose of this preliminary study is to address notions associated with the effect of writing upon the diseased body. To this end, we employ the idea of extension/ numbness which the theorist Marshall McLuhan saw as a constituent element of mediated societies, comparing it with the intuitive and aesthetic works of the poet César Vallejo, which -as we will attempt to demonstrate- function as mechanisms of immunization and numbing. I try to show that a central theme in the aesthetic concerns of the Peruvian poet was the impact upon the bodily senses, and that therein lies his contemporary relevance.
