Abstract
La Maison aux mille étages (1929) est plus qu’une oeuvre séminale de la science-fiction. Bien avant George Orwell et son ouvrage culte 1984, Jan Weiss interroge le tout numérique et la surveillance généralisée, dans un style empreint d’une poésie saisissante et d’un univers onirique singulier, qui rappelle son compatriote Franz Kafka autant que Bruno Schulz. Dans le sillage de l’interprétation sémantique de François Rastier, ce court essai donne des clefs pour comprendre la topologie de l’oeuvre (la maison), son fonctionnement et notre actualité. Il jette un regard neuf sur une oeuvre forte de notre temps, injustement éclipsée.
Abstract (in English)
The House of a Thousand Floors (1929) is more than a seminal work of science fiction. Well before George Orwell and his cult work 1984, Jan Weiss questions the digital world and generalized surveillance, in a style imbued with a striking poetry and a singular dreamlike universe, reminiscent of his compatriot Franz Kafka as much as Bruno Schulz. Following François Rastier's semantic interpretation, this short essay gives keys to understand the topology of the work (the house), its functioning and our actuality. It casts a new light on a powerful work of our time, unjustly eclipsed.
