Este artículo propone que Virgilio Piñera se reapropia de la estructura del Bildungsroman para subvertir su sentido e invertir su signo: en La carne de René (1952) el aprendizaje se revela como proceso de disciplinamiento en el marco de un biopoder que apunta a la producción de cuerpos dóciles y subjetividades funcionales en virtud de su absoluta disponibilidad. La inversión y la literalización constituyen los principales procedimientos mediante los cuales se parodizan ciertos postulados del existencialismo, la fenomenología y el pensamiento cartesiano a los efectos de iluminar el lado oscuro de la racionalidad moderna.
