| ARTICLES RELATED TO Nineteen Eighty-Four | | | |  Nineteen Eighty-Four: Encyclopedia II - Censorship - ImplementationCensorship is regarded among a majority of academics in the Western world as a typical feature of dictatorships and other authoritarian political systems. Democratic nations are represented, especially among Western government, academic and media commentators, to have somewhat less institutionalized censorship, and instead are represented as promoting the importance of freedom of speech. The former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics maintained one of the largest official programs for state-imposed censorship imaginable. The main organ for o ...

| | | | | | | Nineteen Eighty-Four: Encyclopedia II - Censorship - Censorship Types In England, censorship began with the introduction of copyright laws which gave the Crown the permission to license publishing. Without government approval, printing was not allowed. It is sometimes called prior restraint when a court or other governmental body prevents a person from speaking or publishing. This is sometimes viewed as worse than punishment after someone speaks as in libel suits.
Censorship can be explicit, as in laws passed to prevent select positions from being published or propagated (as in the People's Republic of ...

| | | | | Nineteen Eighty-Four: Encyclopedia II - Censorship - Terms "Censorship" comes from the Latin word "censor". In Rome, the censor had two duties, to count the citizens and to supervise their morals. The term "census" is also derived from this word.
An early published reference to the term "whitewash" dates back to 1762 in a Boston Evening Post article. In 1800 the word was used publicly in a political context, when a Philadelphia Aurora editorial said that "if you do not whitewash President Adams speedily, the Democrats, like swarms of flies, will bespatter him all over, and make you both as speckled as a dir ...

| | | | | Nineteen Eighty-Four: Encyclopedia II - Censorship - State secrets and unwanted attention In wartime, explicit censorship is carried out with the intent of preventing the release of information that might be useful to an enemy. Typically it involves obfuscation of times or locations, or delaying the release of information (e.g. an operational objective) until it is of no possible use to enemy forces. Any mention of specific weapons and equipment is usually censored as well. The moral issues here are often seen as somewhat different, as release of tactical information usually presents a greater risk of casualties among one's own f ...

| | | | | Nineteen Eighty-Four: Encyclopedia II - We novel - History and Influence The novel was the first work banned by Glavlit, the new Soviet censorship bureau, in 1921, though the initial draft dates to 1919. In fact, a good deal of the basis of the novel is present in Zamyatin's novella 'Islanders', begun in Newcastle in 1916. Zamyatin's literary position deteriorated throughout the 1920s, and he was eventually allowed to emigrate to Paris in 1931, probably after the intercession of Maxim Gorki. The novel was first published in English in 1924, but the first publication in Russia had to wait until 1988, ...

| | | | | Nineteen Eighty-Four: Encyclopedia II - Themes in Blade Runner - Technicism Technicism is the concept that all problems, all needs, and all reality will eventually be controlled using technological means, methods, and devices. It is a notion that dominates the dystopic Los Angeles of Blade Runner as it seems to blindly accept technological improvements. Many of the themes in the film reflect on this idea further.
Other futuristic novels have examined this idea, such as Burgess' A Clockwork Orange, Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, and Huxley's Brave New World. Some critics of Blade Runner state that the technolo ...

| | | | | Nineteen Eighty-Four: Encyclopedia II - Sapir-Whorf hypothesis - Fictional exploration of linguistic determinism and linguistic relativity George Orwell's classic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four is a striking example of linguistic determinism and linguistic relativity in fiction, in which a language known as Newspeak has trimmed and supplanted Modern English. In this case, Orwell says that if humans cannot form the words to express a revolution, then they cannot revolt. All of the theory of Newspeak is aimed at eliminating such words. For example, bad has been replaced by ungood, and free has been eliminated over time.
In Frank Herbert's science fi ...

An apparent Utopian society, free of poverty, disease, conflict, and even unhappiness. Scratching the surface of the society, however, reveals exactly the opposite. The exact problem, the way the problem is suppressed, and the chronology of the problem forms the central conflict of the story.
Social stratification, where social class is strictly defined and enforced, and social mobility is non-existent (see ...

| | | | | | Nineteen Eighty-Four: Encyclopedia II - Basic English - Historical references Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt supported the idea of Basic English's use as an international language recommending it in a speech at Harvard in 1943. Amused critics said that "blood, toil, tears and sweat" translates into Basic English as "blood, hard work, eyewash and body water". A less literal version is: "All I am offering you is death and pain, bitter trouble and hard, unending work."
According to the Times Educational Supplement's Talking To series, George Orwell might have parodied Basic English in his book Ninetee ...

| | | | | | | | Nineteen Eighty-Four: Encyclopedia II - Retro-futurism - Literature The setting of retro-futuristic stories is sometimes a utopian society; its spirit of optimism and embracing of the status-quo is a complete contrast with cyberpunk. Retro-futurism is also different from steampunk, although the two had things in common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when modern technology was still young. Of course, novels, stories, and films from the early 20th century are futuristic for the time. Retro-future literature usually refers to settings in the late 20th, or 21st century ...
