題名:
Dystopia and loci of power: Language, landscape, and survival.
著者:

Indiana University of Pennsylvania. English.
主題:
Literature, Modern

Dissertation Abstracts International 73-08A.
描述:
In selected twentieth and twenty-first century Anglo-American literary representations of dystopia, writers argue that language serves two fundamental purposes: first, to reveal restrictive structures of thought created by and essentially serving
the
interests of hegemonic forces seeking control of
the
citizenry; second, to show
the
ways in which protagonists undermine those power structures by building and owning their own language and belief systems.
The
political consequence, I contend, is exposing
the
discursive impasses created by hegemonic language and, ultimately, inventing dramatic new ways of engaging in constructive dialogue.
The
introduction outlines
the
tangled relationships between
the
concepts of utopia and dystopia. Adapting Greimas' semiotic rectangle offers a new way of depicting these relationships and suggests that dystopias offer a solution to political impasses rooted in hegemonic systems of thought. Though literary critics have labeled language a defining characteristic of dystopian fiction, none has closely analyzed
the
specific ways in which political language and discursive processes operate within societies.
Early in this study, I look closely at Orwell's essay, "Politics and
the
English Language," where
the
writer warns of
the
dangers of hollow languages and ready-made phrases and proverbs. Nineteen Eighty-Four , Riddley Walker,
the
film V for Vendetta and
The
Handmaid's
Tale
provide striking examples of
the
controlling power of language and attempts by
the
oppressed to speak back to
the
hegemonies suppressing thought and self-expression. I then examine
the
value of place-based knowledge as well as location-specific belief systems as requisites for survival and sanity. In such texts as
The
Mars Trilogy, Parable of
the
Sower,
The
Year of
the
Flood, Woman on
the
Edge of Time and "
The
Birds," writers of dystopias provide evidence for
the
necessity of reading and reconfiguring human expression. Lakoff's work on metaphor and political dialogue helps to unpack both dystopian texts and current contemporary situations that highlight
the
importance of reaching compromises. In sum, these writers demonstrate that new strategies can be applied not only to a dysfunctional landscape but also to addressing impasses in today's broken political discourse.
