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 corporalMoreno Álvarez, Alejandra20182018-05-28master thesishttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_bdccNAhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_be7fb7dd8ff6fe43info:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesishttp://hdl.handle.net/10651/47445reponame:RUO.
