Dystopian experience in the narratives Animal Farm, by George Orwell (1945) and Fazenda Modelo – Novela Pecuária (1974), by Chico Buarque

Abstract

This article, theoretically conceived from the perspective of dystopia, aims to analyze the narratives Animal Farm, by George Orwell (1945) and Fazenda Modelo – Novela Pecuária (1974), by Chico Buarque, productions that articulate complex social representations, generated in historical contexts of different cultural and political motivations. The choice of corpus was made because the plots present the configuration of authoritarianism and also of totalitarian and dictatorial governments, factors that allow a debate on the dystopia concept on the literature function, which is not fixed only on the idea of aesthetic fruition, but becomes an element capable of questioning the various social, cultural, political and human spheres that promote the movements of immanence and transcendence between fiction and history.
