- Title
EL SEXO COMO NARRACIÓN. LA CONEXIÓN ENTRE 9 SONGS Y PLATAFORMA.
- Authors
García Bobo, Jacinto
- Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyse Michael Winterbottom's film adaptation, 9 songs, from Michel Houellebecq's novel Platform, comparing differences and similarities of both works. Framed within a social-cultural context, this article is going to look into the controversy of human relationships, and more specifically sex, in the change of millenium of a society marked by globalization. Having a look at the eternal debate of culture against nature, this work will also analyse whether these works are about the same thesis. Finally, we will focus on Winterbottom's way of turning Houellebecq's novel into a film. The hypothesis to confirm is that of, despite those changes, there is a common understanding of the idea of sex as a trade in the current economic paradigm, based on Bauman's theories.
