The Porcupine and the End of History

Abstract:

Set in a fictional East European country in the aftermath of the collapse of communism, Julian Barnes’s The Porcupine (1992) is a political satire where he juxtaposes two dominant ideologies; capitalist liberal democracy and communism. Although this short novel has a conventional narrative form, postmodern discussions on history can be observed, especially the discussion which has revolved around the idea of “the end of history”. It was Francis Fukuyama’s controversial article entitled “The End of History” (1989) that has sparked this specific debate. In 1992, he elaborated his thesis in a book titled The End of History and the Last Man, the same year Barnes published his novel. Fukuyama suggests that the modern Western liberal democracy is the ultimate and the most successful form of human government, the point where the Hegelian dialectic of history comes to an end. The aim of this article is to present a critical reading of the novel in the context of Fukuyama’s thesis and the discussion generated by this thesis. While it is true that Fukuyama’s thesis has now been outdated and negated, this reading may still provide fresh insights for the current political panorama of the world shaped by surging nationalism, increasing populism and growing conservatism.
