Reconfigurarea distopiei prin „2084 – Sfârșitul lumii” de Bualem Sansal

Abstract

Brave New World (Aldous Huxley), written in 1932, 1984 (George Orwell) issued in 1949, Fahrenheit 461 (Bradbury) from 1953 or 2084
(BualemSansal) published in 2015. Apocalyptic science‐fiction has always fed and enriched literature all over the world. If in the late 40ʹs, demons came from the political field: Nazism, Stalinism, now itʹs time for religious fanaticism, played for radical Islam, to stir the minds of the writers. Relying on Orwellʹs book, whose fan BualemSansaldeclared himsel, from the very beginning, the Algerian writer imagined a society in which salvation comes only from within. A book about the ʺotherʺ, a book of ideas in which Sansal uses the concept of hybridity and comments on Orient, making use of all Western stereotypes, in order to allert on the rise of globalism and religious totalitarianism.
