What underlies DeLillo’s brain text is his ethics of “standing apart,” DeLillo’s version of negativity, which runs throughout the novel. 2024-12-19T06:07:58Z text application/pdf https://archium.ateneo.edu/kk/vol1/iss39/9 info:doi/10.13185/1656-152x.1988 https://archium.ateneo.edu/context/kk/article/1988/viewcontent/KK_2039_2C_202022_209_20Forum_20Kritika_20on_20Ethical_20Literary_20Criticism_2C_20Brain_20Text_2C_20and_20New_20Readings_20of_20World_20Literature_20_28Part_20II_29_20__20Su.pdf Kritika Kultura Archīum Ateneo brain text Don DeLillo ethics of “standing apart ” Falling Man trauma writing |
