Résumé
J. G. Ballard is a vehement critic of post-modern culture, and many of the themes and images of his fiction strike a chord with the work of such pop-art artists as A. Warhol, J. Rosenquist and P. Phillips. But what is perhaps most striking is that Ballard takes the «philosophy» of pop art and develops it into a «full-blown» dialectic of representation. The window seems to be the most appropriate metaphor to describe the writer's evolution from «simulacrum» and the world as a show (shopwindow and screen) to ritual defenestration and to ultimate abstraction (inner windows).
