Resumen

El objetivo de este artículo es explorar cómo High-Rise (1975), de J. G. Ballard, puede ser leída a través de los conceptos de Deleuze y Guattari de rizoma, máquinas abstractas y esquizofrenia. La estructura social de los años setenta en Inglaterra, High-Rise como edificio y High-Rise como novela están conectados entre sí para retratar un rizoma que manifiesta una respuesta distópica a la pregunta de la naturaleza humana. High-Rise puede ser estudiado como una máquina abstracta dado que es una máquina de ficción a través de la cual los lectores se cuestionan el sentido de la humanidad. High-Rise, el edificio, también es una máquina abstracta en sí misma dado que opera como medio para revelar el proceso constante de ser bajo el capitalismo tardío. Por ello, el propósito de este artículo es el de revelar las dinámicas de Deleuze y Guattari en High-Rise en relación con High-Rise, el edificio, al centrarse en los elementos sociales que exponen los aspectos esquizofrénicos del capitalismo tardío.
