"The Elementary Particles" (Michel Houellebecq , 1998)




Until now there was nothing like the futuristic genre of modern to reconcile with our little bondage and celebrate the man's tenderness. There is no doubt that Brave New World (Aldous Huxley, 1931) or 1984 (George Orwell, 1949), to name a few, are accompanied by fierce outbursts, but the source of these allegations is that acting of ghosts that Totalitarianism is the state threatening to engulf the individual.

However, Michel Houellebecq's works, this time in a strange zone where fascism and communism have discontinued Revelation for economic reasons and contradictions, where the root French May consequences ... And that is hidden, perhaps, the key distinguishing The Elementary Particles of the stories of Orwell and Huxley: the temporary political . Houellebecq does not imagine the sinister legacy of our governments, representing prehistoric individualism of our posterity.

The timing of dissolved The Elementary Particles, in fact, the classical site of self-praise: no wild, rebellious or neohumanism to meddle in the future to redeem our decency no prophecies machinic or apathetic (the man will not save man, and no matter what happens in The Possibility of an Island ).

We would, therefore, before a throng text reader identifications of his contemporaries, ensuring emotion and empathy, on the one hand, the verification of their negligence, on the other. The author manipulates, promises a level of altruism for which we are incapable. So, rather than weakness, malaise and incompetence (not lacking in the novel) is the big complaint houellebecquiana postmodern cynicism.

Against a background that deifies youth subjected to pastiche religions and ideologies, convinces her dysfunctional families, and commodified everything (sex and modes of engagement included), is cut cast: two half-brothers abandoned by their mother (a repentant bourgeois, sexy and hippie) are kept alive more than forty years.

In Bruno and Michel Houellebecq, and to invest a good part of his biography, it reverses the depressive seal a culture about to rot. They are beings that are defined by their obsession (erotomania and work, respectively). Do not disturb. They make no shorts in the system. But they are also critical states, there is something in that modesty in those dramas that have no comfort, that becomes tragic. We know that loneliness, cold and silence not only the extent of being post-capitalist, but, primarily, of death.

In this sense, the compassion we feel for the characters rather than emotion sounds like a scam, desperate attempt to redeem the feeling of hope ... It is a tautology, we returned, so the transaction, emblem of our decadence.

guess the curiosity of the reader can not restrain his impulse to good information. I recommend the following sites on s Elementary Particles :
