    A Dialogue on Ideology and Utopia in George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) and Boualem Sansal’s 2084 La fin du monde (2015).
    (Université Mouloud Mammeri, 2021) DAHMANI Kahina
    The present dissertation sets out to analyse the dialogue between George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty- Four (1949) And Boualem Sansal’s 2084 La fin du monde (2015). It investigates the portrayed dystopias and the idea of totalitarianism. To examine this point, this dissertation brings into focus the utopian evolution into dystopia. This paper also seeks to examine the influence of the authors’ backgrounds on the creation of their totalitarian worlds and the dialogue that exists between their texts To reach these aims, this paper has relied on Karl Mannheim’s Ideology and Utopia and Mikhail Bakhtin’s conception of “dialogism.” This analysis tries to demonstrate that although both writers come from different areas and lived in different periods, they share the same concerns and reflect the same issue that characterized their time. Both have portrayed the rise of harsh totalitarian governments that seem to threaten modern societies.
