Vloga zasebnosti in spolnosti v distopični literaturi : magistrsko delo = The role of privacy and sexuality in dystopian literature : M. A. thesisAnclin, TomažPrivacy is a matter of ever greater concern in the modern world, and tackling it is increasingly difficult as technology and globalisation threaten it at every step. People have been foreseeing such ... problems since the last century, and the most imaginative of these are the authors of dystopian fiction. Their works show worlds where the individual is controlled by the State, where the concepts of privacy and sexuality are victims or do not even exist any more. This thesis aims at identifying privacy's role in dystopian literature and observes how sexuality fits into the grander scheme of various societies. With this knowledge, it becomes possible to observe the modern world to see where fiction and reality meet on these topics. In order to thoroughly analyse privacy, it was necessary to separate it into different fields. The structure of the thesis follows this separation throughout. Works included range from classic novels, to articles in journals and media outlets. Each author of a dystopia provides a different vision of the future; thus, a range of surveillance methods are shown, although their targets, whether it be the body or the mind, never differ. Some works give certain targets more attention, others less. Yet, in the end the breach of privacy is an important theme in all the dystopias. A lack of privacy helps find the few dangerous individuals who are sacrificed for the stability of the many, the society, which means the safeguarding of the leaders. Sexuality is used against the people in various ways based on the needs and views of the authority, usually the State. In the modern world similar methods for dealing with privacy and sexuality are used, with some authorities behaving in similar ways. Dystopias can thus function as an effective introduction to an understanding of the modern world.Type of material - master's thesis ; adult, seriousPublication and manufacture - Maribor : [T.
