Partiendo de la conocida novela 1984, del escritor inglés George Orwell, la comunicación pretende desarrollar algunas reflexiones críticas sobre el "diálogo", siempre ambivalente, entre poder político, desarrollo tecnológico y libertad del individuo. A tal efecto, se toma como base y como punto de referencia algunas de las ideas, imágenes y situaciones -en algunos casos, extraordinariamente sugestivas- que Orwell describe y desarrolla en la obra de referencia. Una obra que, más allá de la forma frívola y superficial en que ha sido interpretada en los últimos años (en especial por lo que respecta a la figura del denominado "Gran Hermano"), plantea con lucidez, no exenta de dramatismo, unos interrogantes que no deberían dejar indiferente a ningún ciudadano consciente de hoy.
Based on a discussion of George Orwell's well-known novel, 1984, this paper seeks to undertake a critical examination of the ever ambivalent "dialogue" between political power, technological development and the freedom of the individual. To do so, it takes as its point of reference some of the often highly evocative ideas, images and situations that Orwell presents and develops in this work. The novel, victim of a somewhat frivolous and superficial interpretation in recent years (in particular, as regards the figure of "Big Brother"), raises with considerable lucidity, and from a dramatic point of view, a number of questions that should be of interest to all responsible citizens today.
