Paul Auster, Sunset Park, masculinidad, crisis, Gran Recesión, intertextualidadResumen
Las crisis económicas tienen el potencial de reconfigurar drásticamente creencias, normas y dogmas previamente arraigados. Esto incluye también las normas de género, ya que siempre dependen de la configuración económica vigente y suelen cambiar con ella. Sunset Park, de Paul Auster, explora las vidas de cuatro jóvenes durante la Gran Recesión y sus formas de afrontarla. La novela ofrece una excelente oportunidad para examinar cómo las normas de género fluctúan con la economía. En particular, este artículo analiza el impacto de la crisis en la masculinidad, tal como se refleja en Miles Heller y Bing Nathan, los dos personajes masculinos principales. La cuestión central del artículo es hasta qué punto logran subvertir y remodelar la masculinidad y ofrecer modelos positivos de identificación, así como en qué medida esto es deliberado. Además, el artículo analiza la intertextualidad con El gran Gatsby y Los mejores años de nuestra vida para explorar cómo estas referencias contribuyen al examen de la masculinidad representada en Sunset Park.
