OUR MODERN ORWELL AND POSTMODERN HABITS
OUR MODERN ORWELL AND POSTMODERN HABITS

Summary/Abstract: Under the sign of fundamental and formal investigations promoted by George Orwell, an explicit definition of the writer's relationship with the modern context, and a necessary explanation of the option expressed by his exegetes to attach his name to postmodern customs, is required. What takes precedence is “the rule of if” (if Orwell can be linked to postmodernism) while stressing the fact that, if he is postmodern only by chance, then Orwell's post-modernity is nothing more than a working style or an exegetical formula, an active way of re-reading (deconstruction) by reference to the postmodernity customs.
