Fracturarea identității și marginalitatea în literatura distopică. O analiză literară și computațională

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.
