If you put a spaniard in the works do you get a frankfurter? Gene Jurriaan Bendien wrote: a classic book that in some ways summarizes the Frankfurt school viewpointfor me is Orwell's _1984_, where there is total domination and no hope.Well, the domination is not total, because Winston revolts and, for example, has an affair with Julia (the description of the character Julia owes much to Wilhelm Reich's analysis of fascism). In fact, Orwell refers to the hopes Winston feels, in seeking to meet Julia. <snip> Orwell's story contrasts with Ira Levin's (in my opinion) superior story, which is more attuned to American imagery, called "This Perfect Day", where Chip ends up destroying the machine, because he has understood its functioning, and can put a spaniard in the works, which blows up the entire system that oppresses him. |
