CFP: Is War a Peace? The Future of Philology

Deadline: October 31, 2024

Journal: “Studia Rossica Posnaniensia” (issue no. 50/2/2025)

Fully Open Access, there are no fees attached to the publication

Editors: Stefano Aloe (University of Verona, Italy), Bartosz Osiewicz (Adam Mickiewicz University).

Reflection on the mechanisms of power and their impact on culture evokes direct associations with the works of George Orwell and can contribute to expanding the scope of potential research. The party slogan “war is peace”, found in the novel 1984, constitutes one of the vivid examples of the writer’s concept of “doublethinking”, illustrating the possibility of both representing and distorting reality through language. In this context, language is used not only to create an image of the world, but also to control the masses and manipulate consciousness.
