Resumen

Este artículo analiza Lapvona (2022), de Ottessa Moshfegh, desde la perspectiva de las ecologías narrativas y del campo de lo insólito ficcional. A través del personaje de Ina —acusada de brujería y reconocida por sus saberes encarnados sobre plantas, animales y cuerpos— el estudio examina cómo la novela desestabiliza la división moderna entre lo humano y la naturaleza. En lugar de presentar lo insólito como una irrupción sobrenatural, Lapvona lo articula como una intensificación perceptiva que revela la continuidad material entre organismos, paisajes y formas de vida más-que-humanas. El análisis se concentra en tres dimensiones: la materialidad de los cuerpos y los fluidos, la abyección como vía de conocimiento y la multisensorialidad como práctica perceptiva. Finalmente, se argumenta que la figura de la bruja funciona como un dispositivo narrativo que reinscribe lo sagrado en la materialidad compartida del mundo vivo.
