We all agree. We're all moving in the same direction. United against the coronavirus. Solidarity of a humanity trembling in the face of a so-called unprecedented epidemic. We are at war with the coronavirus. With masks and bottles of hydro-alcoholic gel, and thanks to the heroism of our doctors, we will win. Amen to that! The world will never be the same again. 1TP5Neveragain! Hurrah! Humanity is rising up in an unprecedented surge of awareness. Let's protect ourselves, let's protect our loved ones! Let's all join hands - err... no, sorry! Let's keep a distance of one meter and banish all physical contact... - to erect a barrier against the great Satan who is advancing to kill us.
La lente installation d'une tyrannie du brun.
Technologie, totalitarisme et liberté
D’après le sociologue Michel Maffesoli, qui s’est exprimé dans l’émission «Face à l’info» du 9 mars dernier, nous nous trouvons au carrefour de deux époques; à un temps de la quantité sommes-nous peut-être en train de revenir à un temps de la qualité. Si tel est le cas, peut-être le XXIe siècle sera-t-il celui du roman, qui lui seul est capable d’exprimer les vérités non quantifiables. A de maints égards, et sans doute de façon surprenante, «99 francs», le roman de Frédéric Beigbeder dénonçant la tyrannie de la publicité et qui inaugure la trilogie mettant en scène Octave Parango, peut se lire selon cette conception-là du roman – celle Milan Kundera.
On the occasion of the presentation of the final part of his trilogy devoted to Octave Parango, Frédéric Beigbeder takes us on a journey in the footsteps of this literary double, sharing his criticism of the dictatorship of laughter and his passion for the novel.
