El hobo Jack Black y William S. Burroughs: fundamentos de una influencia cibernética

Abstract

Encouraged by our research on the relationship between the hobo Jack Black and William S. Burroughs, through a corpus that works the cybernetic precepts of this influence interspersed with the sociology of its preliminary motivations, this article seeks to establish the basis for a future analysis which will employ the cybernetic spirals (three applied case studies) in search of a more definitive understanding of that relationship. Therefore, we will focus on the perimeter of this dialectic, in so far as we are interested in solidifying the consubstantial state of an obstinately repeated presence with the corpus of a posterior literary production. Applying the cybernetic theory of mathematician Norbert Wiener to the literary interpretation, we believe that the text can function as a system that feeds on the insertion-reinsertion of past results: either as a confirming agent or as the positive factor of entropy expected to be obtained.
