The Failed Revolution of Winston and Julia in 1984 Versus The Successful Revolution in District 13 in Mockingjay

Year 2023, Volume: 11 Issue: 30, 55 - 75, 30.05.2023

Abstract

This article’s aim is to analyze the three different dystopian works; comparing George Orwell’s 1984 with Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games and Mockingjay, concerning anarchic positive perspective. It also presents how and why anarchism is necessary. Anarchism becomes important when dystopic systems dehumanize people and violate their free will by enslaving them. Moreover, this article intends to find an answer to the questions of how and why revolutions succeed; as in Mockingjay or fail as in 1984. Is anarchism a precept of life or is it simply a political theory that rejects all forms of despotic power? In his novel, Orwell addresses Oceania’s citizens’ situation of, control, oppression, power, and dehumanization. The author also predicts the future when people are under extreme control by the state. In a post-apocalyptic world, Collins displays the situation of the people of Panem, where control, violence, oppression, and dehumanization are also dominant matters. Additionally, this work shows how the state violates people’s available choices in life, and its impact on individuals. Furthermore, it explores the revolutions and conflicts to be in power or to be free.

Winston ve Julia'nın 1984 Yılındakı Başarısız Devrimine Karşı Alajciya'nın 13 Bölgesindeki Başarılı Devrim

Year 2023, Volume: 11 Issue: 30, 55 - 75, 30.05.2023

Abstract

Bu makalenin amacı, üç farklı distopik eseri incelemektir. Makale, George Orwell'in 1984, Suzanne Collins'in Açlık Oyunları ve Alaycı Kuş adlı eserlerini anarşik pozitif bakış açısıyla karşılaştırarak aynı zamanda anarşizmin nasıl ve neden gerekli olduğunu da sunar. Anarşizm ve distopik sistemler, insanları insanlıktan çıkardığında ve onları köleleştirerek özgür iradelerini ihlal ettiğinde önem kazanır. Ayrıca bu çalışma, devrimlerin nasıl ve neden başarılı olduğu sorularına da yanıt bulmayı amaçlamaktadır. Alaycı Kuş eserindeki ya da 1984 adlı eserdeki gibi başarısız Anarşizm, bir yaşam kuralı mı yoksa despotik gücün tüm biçimlerini reddeden basit bir politik teori mi? Orwell, romanında Okyanusya vatandaşlarının kontrol, baskı, güç ve insanlıktan çıkma durumlarını ele alıyor. Ayrıca yazar, gelecekle ilgili insanların devlet tarafından aşırı kontrol altına alınacağını da tahmin ediyor. Collins ise, kıyamet sonrası bir dünyada kontrol, şiddet, baskı ve insanlıktan çıkmanın da baskın olduğu Panem halkının durumunu sergiliyor. Ek olarak bu çalışma, insanların hayattaki mevcut seçimlerinin devlet tarafından nasıl ihlal edildiğini ve bu durumun bireyler üzerindeki etkisini de içermektedir. Bunun yanısıra çalışmada, iktidarda olmak ya da özgür olmak için devrimlere ve çatışmalara da değinilmiştir.
