Resumen

Este trabajo incluye la revisión hermenéutica de la novela The Knitting Circle (2006) de Ann Hood, un texto escasamente abordado desde la teoría y crítica literaria. Para llevar a cabo este análisis, en particular enfocado en su protagonista, se emplean los presupuestos de los estudios del trauma, especialmente las consideraciones de Laurie Vickroy, así como las semióticas de lo textil en torno a su potencial discursivo y colectivo. A través del prisma del close reading, se plantea que la actividad costurera (y, por extensión, la comunidad que se genera en torno a ella) propicia un proceso de recuperación psicológica que no solo depende de la articulación del evento traumático, sino también de las formas experienciales sociales establecidas alrededor de ese hecho.
