    Master Thesis
    Paradoxcial politics of power, language, and truth In Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four
    (2007) Arslan, Zeynep
    Thought to be revealing the features of “undemocratic” regimes, Nineteen-Eighty Four has been narrowly interpreted as a warning for future generations. Orwell, however, is not defensive or aggressive about any certain political system in the novel. In this respect, he solely uncovers the power relations that are central not only to all forms of political systems, but also to life itself. He analyzes power relations within the context of language, and emphasizes the necessity of paradoxes which underlie these relations. The relationship among power, language, and truth has always been a controversial subject. Reality is shaped by language, and this reality-constructing capacity makes linguistic systems integral to power relations. Finally, by depicting a state called Oceania which uses paradoxes as a means of continuing its power, Orwell reveals the paradoxical nature of power politics. Through an analysis of power relations, Orwell brings under discussion the interactive relation among power, language, and truth.
