Desvio do pensamento e da cultura nas novlínguas (Klemperer, Orwell, Canetti)

Abstract

Distortion of thought and culture in newspeaks (Klemperer, Orwell, Canetti). Third Reich language LTI described by Klemperer as well as newspeak created by Orwell in 1984 reveal conditions and ways thought and culture are twisted. Ambiguousness, falsification, lying on one side, deliberate impoverishment of language on the other lead to ignorance, intentional suppression of nuances - impeding if not making impossible freedom of thought. Hard, lacking any sensitivity, spreading terror, newspeak is a language of clan and cliché. Filled with fear, individual is condemned to a deep and permanent psychicological insecurity, produced and fueled by organization.
