Fahrenheit 451: Uma leitura política de uma narrativa distópica do pós guerra

Abstract

This work aims to interpret the novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953) by Ray Bradbury, through the political reading, as proposed by Fredric Jameson (1992). Performing this analysis, it is expected to be understood more clearly how the novel figures political, social and economical aspects of The Short Twenieth Century (HOBSBAWN, 1994), the ones which possibilitate the writing of dystopian literary works, genre which evokes the history of captalist progress and the relation between mankind, technology, nature and civilization, approaching a context of preservation of post-war history and its unfolding on the post industrial economic model.
