In the novel The Drowned World of JG Ballard (1), the writer can be clear about many things, but certainly that would not be raised is who is writing, which could come later , but why and how he writes. And his answer is all of this novel. Ballard does not have any disaster as a journalist, nor do a thesis on the influence of heat on the body. Tell what then? Narrate it, that which combines both fictional (2) as a subconscious level through a tapestry of reality, given, as well as claims that cross and driving and encourage him to write.
in Ballard is not to inform, not to report ad nauseam , is not commenting, form is not "culturally." It is a dystopia prepare us and make us travel through a dark line of argument (We will see then what will argue that line) to show a decode. Would then decode Ballard? I firmly believe that, but we may capture the signs that issues and affect us in his novel.
is remarkable that Ballard does not make a big deal to date, or rather the date is already inserted into the novel, as indeed is the future, but Ballard's novel makes this future is so present that fiction itself can be the initial approach of "Drowned World" is rather the other date is not dated, the sink-is in the wilds (the human being "yet?):
" innate releasing mechanisms in your cytoplasm for millions of years have awakened. The sun and the temperature [...] are driving [...] (a) the unconscious layers, an entirely new zone of the psyche neuron. [...] Really remember these swamps and lagoons. After a few hours and do not panic, despite his apparent horror. "(3) The sink-
is unknown in most men, the self and your mind. And there is some panic to it, as the passages of the compass Kerans. It is fundamental in The Drowned World all characters are marked bodily by his thoughts, his bewilderment, his submission on the mental abyss. I do not think Ballard raised, it has seemed to me so The Drowned World as a "metaphor" I firmly believe that the world literally Ballard is already submerged, and the skeletons of buildings that are elevated from the bottom of lakes and vast wetlands are precisely that: Buildings. For what emerges is the decline of the skeleton of these buildings, dead skin (which can be recycled), the surface still unfathomable, but whose quality will be experienced or treated differently by each character, although that Ballard " plays "with them in four distinct poles: the non-scanned, which explored the conservative and the evil of human beings and their environment.
Ballard will introduce, in my reading, something that many other authors, I would even venture to say that Kafka have felt: not seeking freedom, seeking to be free in a world of rotten, putrid, annoying, uncomfortable, stifling. Rather, seek a . And the output, let us say clearly, does not appear in our writer formalized in any way. Comes out, and that's what counts. Because that is precisely what makes Kerans writing on the wall:
"Day 27. I've rested and south. Everything is bien.Kerans. "(4)
is the event of an output.
may seem that this output (repeat, not a quest for freedom) was something like adaptive mediating survivor. But Ballard intended output here has been much richer than that. It is a way in which we play the all or nothing where we say the chance of a stroke. A blow, indeed, that is determined primarily by an implosion within each character between each character.
The Drowned World is less a science fiction novel as a particularly novel anti-representational. The underwater world comes to the point where there is nothing to "return" to present, but "go" filing, followed. No stereotypes us there where they may. Captain (Riggs) and his soldiers, the evil (Strangman) and his entourage. And they represent to some extent, because when they on well directly or indirectly with Hardman, Bodkin, Beatrice and Kerans, lose all contemporary reference point. It is as if they stopped for a moment, to stop carrying out their unconscious role or role in the novel. So amazing Ballard makes a turn, not only the robot but the robot, not the master, but capitanización , not the underwater world, but the dive. ... Not a utopia but a dystopia.
Ballard, Chapters 3 and 5, introduces a "breaking" the argumentative thread. Why? What do you mean? It may not be a rupture, but rather a continuity submerged . Again, do not speak metaphorically, what Ballard does is expose the reason for the operation of the characters, what symptoms, from where all his anguish, how to live is not inevitable and freedom, but the flight, and where to locate all this: In the genes in human brain evolution, the relationship with the environment (which will be discussed later), in the return to the wild. Can we say, as a "Heraclitean" back to the beginning, it was chaos? For in the evolution of the novel, one can realize that even the animals themselves have adapted, adjusted. Best say they have adapted wild, too wildly. This "too much" again to refer to a kind of correspondence between the future of animals and plants and man himself. (5)
But how can a term as too have something to do in a novel whose chapters 3 and 5 are broken? By over-narration. Let me explain. Is Ballard who writes or is the psychologist who does Ballard for him in a novel line? Is the psychologist who writes Ballard or Ballard is the scientist? (6)
There is a fundamental point: Ballard does not identify with the psychologist or scientist. Ballard is all novel, animals, plants, the lagoons (lapses, gaps which always comes out something, a word that is constantly repeated throughout the novel). Ballard, despite a marked accent surreal in form and content and well cut Freudian blows all the air. No talk of breaking this or that taboo in society, whether or not there is sexual tension, how to get rid of complexes (7). No. breaks, sometimes very very dark, others somewhat more clear, does not stop writing his novel, in writing . It is like saying "Perfect, perfect, I have in mind but also ...". This is why the id , not merely represent not let themselves be represented, but it decodes all that we had for good sound, and now, it is primarily liquid (Me comes to mind testing Zygmunt Baumann (8)). Interestingly, the solid is submerged, while the liquid, liquidity, is what emerged, emergence.
Perhaps all the above, it is now much clearer answer to the question of whether or not actually Ballard broke with the fees imposed science fiction, it is not to break the front, it is not to say that something broken and that it should indeed be changed to make much noise. Ballard has been more subtle than that, as it has since the emergency, both the emergence of a subconscious (9) and at the emergency exit, to find a way out, at any rate. Some people like Riggs or Strangman not have, nor do we know if its stagnation "ethical", the order may be, be better or worse than that of Kerans and Hardman. Simply have not allowed the first outbreak of a departure, have clogged and have been limited to ignore, to forget, to dip again. Is not this a call from Ballard to the awakening of consciences? Is not this a generous, if rather dark-gesture of social protest and all the mechanisms that operate there, submerged? Have not we open also to other social protest, more internal and / or micrological , in terms of climate change, to rethink the concepts of Civilization / Civilized? I think so, and also with great force.
My experience with double reading of this novel has been highly rewarding, although at first attacked me many questions, disturbing and distressing and I have to admit that I rushed, talking about it with my colleagues and I fell into many answers banal recently settled and thoughtful. Fortunately, the second reading of the book did not say much more, but I whistled a different approach, first as an extension of the time he was removing it. The result was this work, and finally, I have been satisfied both by reading a novel so succulent and complex resonances for having known that our author has had film in the area, for example, with David Cronenberg.
