Vous autres, civilisations, savez maintenant que vous êtes mortelles De la contre-utopie

  • Publication type: Book
  • Author: Essono Tsimi (Éric)
  • Abstract: With a title that parodies Paul Valéry’s famous warning, this essay examines the way in which the decline of the West has been estheticized. Beginning with the premise of the invention of “counter-utopia,” a genre resembling yet distinct from that of dystopia, the author analyzes this concept as the memento mori of civilization.
