Personnages écologiques en résistance dans Guérilla de Véronique Bergen
Guérilla (2019), a multi-voiced novel by the French-language Belgian writer, Véronique Bergen, raises the question of the current environmental crisis. I shall look at the main characters’ ecological personality: four eco guerrilleros, a woman, a child and Gaia. Within the theoretical framework developed by Stéphanie Posthumus, which she based on Félix Guattari’s Ecosophy and three Ecologies (mental, social and environmental), I shall examine the characters’ subjectivity. Furthermore, I shall resort to the concept of resistance to which Véronique Bergen has dedicated her essay Résistances philosophiques (2009). I shall highlight the resistant stances adopted by the characters in their experimentation of subjectivity: the guerilla and the use of violence, the misuse of language, the building of new alliances with all life forms and the cosmos.
