- Abstract: The critique of liberalism and its impact on all facets of life is a topic that structures Michel Houellebecq's novels. His last two novels, Submission and Serotonin, point out the dislocation of society into many parts that no longer communicate because they hold different values and occasionally end up clashing. Writing a work of fiction, like the Naturalist novelists, is a way to conduct political and social experiments to produce an analysis of the contemporary world. This analysis is created by a singular voice that imposes its temperament, its obsessions, and its convictions on this representation of reality. This paper will try to expose the character of this voice and the tensions it describes in French society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
- Abstract: La critique du libéralisme et de son extension à tous les domaines de la vie est la ligne de fond qui structure la production romanesque de Michel Houellebecq. Les deux derniers romans, Soumission et Sérotonine soulignent davantage la dislocation du corps social en de nombreuses parties qui ne communiquent plus, ne se fréquentent plus, s'opposent sur les valeurs qui devraient faire société et finissent, parfois, par s'affronter. Passer par la fiction permet, à la manière des Naturalistes, de mener des expériences politiques et sociales dans le but d'en tirer une analyse du monde actuel. Cela permet à une voix singulière de prendre en charge la vision de la société. Cette voix imprime alors son timbre, son tempérament, ses obsessions et ses convictions au réel et produit ainsi une représentation subjective de celui-ci, et pourtant paradoxalement très en prise avec les tensions de la société française. On peut ainsi s'interroger sur les caractéristiques du prisme choisi et sur les enjeux qu'il met au jour. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
