Dystopia: 1984



Sunday, 12 February 2012
SCI FI
       · The basic definition of science fiction writing is that it is set in the
       future and explores the ethical, moral, and philosophical questions
       of this future time

       · Joyce Saricks notes that setting is a crucial appeal factor in
       creating a feeling of “otherness”

       · The science should be plausible – unlike fantasy where the author
       can make up the rules, the science fiction writer needs to follow
       known scientific facts as much as possible.

       · Character development is often of lesser importance in science
       fiction.

Dystopia: 1984
            UTOPIA:
            A place, state, or condition that is ideally perfect in respect
            of politics, laws, customs, and conditions.
            DYSTOPIA:
            A futuristic, imagined universe in which oppressive societal
            control and the illusion of a perfect society are maintained
            through corporate, bureaucratic, technological, moral, or
            totalitarian control. Dystopias, through an exaggerated
            worst-case scenario, make a criticism about a current trend,
            societal norm, or political system.

Types of Dystopian Control
   Most dystopian works present a world in which
   oppressive societal control is maintained through one
   or more of the following types of controls:
    • Corporate control: One or more large corporations
     control society through products, advertising, and/or
     the media.

      • Bureaucratic control: Society is controlled by a
       mindless bureaucracy through a tangle of red tape,
       relentless regulations, and incompetent government
       officials.
Sunday, 12 February 2012
• Technological control: Society is controlled
          by technology—through computers,
          robots, and/or scientific means. Examples
          include The Matrix, The Terminator, and I,
          Robot.

         • Philosophical/religious control: Society is
          controlled by philosophical or religious
          ideology often enforced through a
          dictatorship or theocratic government.

The Dystopian Protagonist




Sunday, 12 February 2012
The Dystopian Protagonist
        • often feels trapped and is struggling to escape.
        • questions the existing social and political
         systems.
        • believes or feels that something is terribly
         wrong with the society in which he or she
         lives.
        • helps the audience recognise the negative
         aspects of the dystopian world through his or
         her perspective.

Given his importance, what
                           does Orwell want us to think
                           of Winston?
                           What is his role?
                           Can we trust him?
                           What kind of man is Winston
                           Smith? A hero?
                           What qualities do we
                           normally associate with such
                           a role?
                           Does Winston "measure up"
                           to these? In what ways? Why
                           does he fail?
