Fractured identities and marginality in dystopian literature. A literary and computational analysis

Key Points

The analysis shows how identity crises are articulated through narratives of oppression in dystopian literature, affecting individuals profoundly.
Key evidence highlights the construction of oppressive worlds in Orwell's 1984 and Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, illustrating the direct suppression of freedoms.
The study employs a literary approach combined with computational analysis, utilizing techniques like concept frequency and sentiment polarity to deepen insights.
These findings may prompt further exploration of how literature critiques modern societal power structures, revealing layers of meaning in oppression.

Abstract

The study examines how marginality and identity crises are reflected in dystopian literature, with a particular focus on George Orwell’s 1984 and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. Employing a literary approach, the analysis highlights how these works construct oppressive worlds where individuals are subjugated by mechanisms of totalitarian control or cultural uniformity. Marginality is thus portrayed both through the direct suppression of personal freedoms and through subtle methods of manipulation and the trivialization of existence. The computational component complements this analysis by employing concept frequency, sentiment polarity, and visual representations to provide new insights into how these literary works reflect and critique the power structures of contemporary society.
