El objetivo de este artículo constiste en analizar la novela Plataforma de Michel Houellebecq comparándola con la libre adaptación que Michael Winterbottom realizó en la película 9 songs. Examinando las convergencias y divergencias de estos dos textos, enmarcaremos este análisis en su contexto sociocultural para investigar cómo reflejan la problemática de las relaciones humanas, y más concretamente el sexo, en el cambio de milenio de una sociedad globalizada, en el eterno debate de la cultura contra la naturaleza; si son dos obras que tratan sobre la misma tesis, o si finalmente llegan a diferentes conclusiones. Para ello incidiremos en cómo se pone en escena audiovisualmente la propuesta de Houellebecq, y los cambios significativos que ello aporta a la experiencia del espectador. La hipótesis a demostrar es que, pese a esos posibles cambios, hay una idea común que se basa en entender el sexo, en pleno siglo XXI, como una mercancía o valor de cambio asumido de forma natural en una economía globalizada, basándonos en las teorías de Bauman.
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.
