| description | Based on the comparative analysis, from a dialectical perspective of the dystopian works of Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) and George Orwell (1984) this article reexamines the concepts of utopia and dystopia in light of the current situation of Brazil, marked by the inversion of reality (lies turned into facts, science into pure opinion, and ignorance into knowledge). The point of departure of the text is the dystopian and tragic realization, in the current Brazilian context, of various aspects of these two works which, each in its own way, imagines a tragic future for humanity. |

Escrito a partir da leitura e da análise comparativa numa perspectiva dialética das distópicas obras de Aldous Huxley (Admirável Mundo Novo) e de George Orwell (1984), este artigo retoma os conceitos de utopia e distopia, pensando o cenário do Brasil atual, marcado pela inversão da realidade (mentiras convertidas em fatos; ciência em pura opinião; e a ignorância em conhecimento). O ponto de partida do texto é a perspectiva de realização distópica e trágica, na atual realidade brasileira, de vários aspectos contidos nestas obras que, cada uma a seu modo, imaginaram um futuro trágico para a humanidade. 2019-06-30 2022-03-17T18:04:53Z 2022-03-17T18:04:53Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/ls/article/view/47442 10.23925/ls.v23i42.47442 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/50400 por https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/ls/article/view/47442/31591 Copyright (c) 2020 Lutas Sociais application/pdf Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo Lutas Sociais; v. 23 n. 42 (2019): Pontos de Neblina; 139-155 2526-3706 1415-854X 10.23925/ls.v23i42 |
