Animal Farm asserts itself at once as an area where Orwell’s various fields of inquiry, addressed during his intellectual production, merge together and yet as precondition of the dystopian representations written down in Nineteen Eighty-Four. Animal Farm focuses on a renewed investigation of the relationships between literature and politics. By the introduction of a number of additional analysis related to the role of technology, the development of revolutionary dynamics, the relationships amongst crisis and utopia, and the censorship and self-censorship mechanisms, Animal Farm moves forward by overlapping social processes and writer’s role. It brings up the inseparable intellectual and artistic combination between courage and a notion of freedom, strictly related to the categories of plurality and alterity.
Imponendosi a un tempo come il luogo di convergenza dei diversi ambiti di indagine affrontati da Orwell nel corso della sua produzione e come la premessa delle raffigurazioni distopiche di Nineteen Eighty-Four, Animal Farm si condensa in una rinnovata indagine sui rapporti tra politica e letteratura. Attraverso l’introduzione di una serie di analisi complementari che coinvolgono il ruolo della tecnica, la diagnosi delle dinamiche rivoluzionarie, le relazioni tra crisi e utopia e i meccanismi della censura e dell’autocensura, Animal Farm si articola infatti su una sovrapposizione tra processi sociali e ruolo dello scrittore, portando in primo piano l’inscindibile binomio, intellettuale e artistico, tra il coraggio e una nozione di libertà strettamente correlata alle categorie della pluralità e dell’alterità.

Abstract
Animal Farm asserts itself at once as an area where Orwell’s various fields of inquiry, addressed during his intellectual production, merge together and yet as precondition of the dystopian representations written down in Nineteen Eighty-Four. Animal Farm focuses on a renewed investigation of the relationships between literature and politics. By the introduction of a number of additional analysis related to the role of technology, the development of revolutionary dynamics, the relationships amongst crisis and utopia, and the censorship and self-censorship mechanisms, Animal Farm moves forward by overlapping social processes and writer’s role. It brings up the inseparable intellectual and artistic combination between courage and a notion of freedom, strictly related to the categories of plurality and alterity.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
