Am Anfang der Parabel

The anger of the Dissidenz 

At the beginning of the parabola: Thomas Pynchon swears to the combat spirit of George OrwellQuellen: sueddeutsche.de / Reuters
 

Around a classical case of literary meadow management goes it here: like a large political author deals with its grind, its annoyance, its hate, his despair. Around George Orwell goes it, to that evenly this emotional mixture developed into the Dreissigern and Vierzigern of the last century, in view of the condition of socialism in the world. When the Soviet Union of the conceptions of a democratic socialism drifted and from the European Totalitarismus, which it fought, hardly more to be differentiated between was - which did not change also after end of war and 1948 to its novel "1984" induced Orwell: "the will to fascism had not disappeared 1948, the corruption of the spirit, the irresistible human purgingness to power..." Helpless intellectual linking to it with schizophrenem doublethink had reacted, the things such as KZs and Massendeportation times as correctly, times as wrongly defined.

Thomas Pynchon writes after a longer period of the silence over "the road tons 1984" - its introduction to a new American expenditure of the novel, which will appear in this week, is easily shortened first-printed on weekend in the Guardian. Naturally Pynchon writes ends of the parabola "also over itself, its" is conceivable surely not without the direct purchase to Orwells work and world. Also the time is not coincidental, "approximately around the year 2003, if government officials get more than we remaining paid to trivialisieren in order to degrade history, truth and to extinguish the past day for day". If this people power have to talk "each itself enclosed that history never occurred, or itself in way occurred, which serves best its intentions - or that it is anyway completely irrelevant actually, except in a verbloedeten, together-gleaned in-hour television Show".

With meadow management, one sees it, has also to Thomas Pynchon to do, a half century after Orwell. As if dissident Orwell left saw themselves, that its meadow hard fought for on the battlegrounds, by the verwundungen, those the fascists it added in the Spanish civil war - and one would like to bring this term together Dissidenz with that the Dekonstruktion. Also Orwell was sensitive to the play of political argumentation, to which the postmodernism dedicated its attention, for the dialectic of simplification and duplication of the meanings. For the schillernden forms of the notorious doublethink, between Zen Buddhismus and dreister Fuehrerrhetorik. "1984" end with the surrender of the individual, Winston Smith begin the Big bread ago to love. But this is not the last word of the novel - an appendix follows over the "Principles OF new peak", which new unit language, in the past form and in classical old peak it is written which certainly and then Pynchon, signaled hopes that also new peak could be already again past. Orwell as masters hypertext! On this background the photo is to be seen, Thomas the Pynchon at the end describes: Orwell with its adoptive son Richard Horatio Blair, taken up 1944, the year, since also Winston Smith could be born. Orwell looks out like one of the figures, which Robert Duvall played, an American type of ark. Pynchon reads a faith in this picture, "so decently that we can imagine Orwell, and even us, as we, for one instant at least, swear, everything be done which done must, thus he will never betrogen". It is not coincidence that this text appears on the day, since on an aircraft carrier before the coast of the USA a new period in the political Doublethink seems to begin.
