Utopia and anti-utopia in the anticipatory novel by Boualem Sansal 2084. The end of the world

In his novel 2084. The end of the world , Boualem Sansal uses the two essential facts of novel writing, time and space, to criticize his society. The plot and the characters are only necessary to question the spatiotemporal dimension in which they evolve. This article, from a geocritical perspective, aims to question the modalities of the conversion of the historical and the geographical to show the obsolescence of the monolithism of utopia promoted by the discourse of the State and to restore to the concept of utopia its polysemic valence. In this story, Sansal frees the narrative from the rectilinear outline of the text.
