Abstract

This paper examines the formal intermediality relationship between the videogame Remember Me, and the novel Les furtifs, by Alain Damasio. The two fictions work on the same configuration of ecumenal relations (that is to say the technical and symbolic relations which unite an individual to his environment and to others) - the same inhabiting - according to their own media specificities and a homologous tensioning of dystopian and eutopian discourse. This gives rise to a critique of contemporary inhabiting within an algorithmic society punctuated by the surveillance and presence of social enclaves, as well as an alternative inhabiting.
