Political Censorship and the Human-Nature Subjugation: A Reading of Fahrenheit 451

Abstract

Abstract Political censorship occurs when the government holds back information from its citizens. This censorship is often characterized by the suppression of speech, public communication or other information. It is generally conducted when a government or a private institution notices that a piece of information is deemed sensitive, inconvenient, harmful and, therefore, unacceptable to be shared. A Technoethical and Ecocritical analysis of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 shows how political censorship has negatively affected human beings and nature leading to their total subjugation. What is political censorship? How is it exercised in Fahrenheit 451? In what ways are human species and nature subjugated in Fahrenheit 451? The paper finds that both man and nature are degraded and that man is fully responsible for this degradation. It advocates that solutions to mental and natural crisis are more social than scientific concerns. Besides, it proposes an ethical use of technological devices to incite a more responsible attitude in individuals for a harmonious natural and political ecosystem. Keywords: Censorship, Ecocriticism, political, subjugation, Technoethics. Résumé Il y a censure politique lorsque le gouvernement cache des informations à ses citoyens. Cette censure se caractérise souvent par la suppression de la parole, de la communication publique ou d’autres informations. Elle est généralement pratiquée lorsqu’un gouvernement ou une institution privée remarque qu’une information est jugée sensible, gênante, nuisible et par conséquent, inacceptable d’être divulguée. Une analyse technoéthique et écocritique de Fahrenheit 451 de Ray Bradbury montre comment la censure politique a eu un impact négatif sur les êtres humains et la nature, conduisant à leur asservissement total. Qu’est-ce que la censure politique ? Comment est-elle exercée dans Fahrenheit 451 ? De quelles manières l’espèce humaine et la nature sont-elles assujetties dans Fahrenheit 451 ? Il ressort de l’analyse que l’homme et la nature sont tous deux dégradés et que l’homme est entièrement responsable de cette dégradation. L’article préconise que les solutions aux crises mentales et naturelles relèvent plus des préoccupations sociales que scientifiques. En outre, il propose une utilisation éthique des dispositifs technologiques afin d’inciter les individus à adopter une attitude plus responsable pour créer une harmonie dans l’écosystème naturel et politique. Mots-clés: Censure, approche écocritique, politique, subjugation, approche technoéthique.
