- Romanul distopic este antiteza romanului utopic. Wikipedia - by Cristian Brinza
- Example sentence(s)
- Distopia este o lume imaginara in care societatea a alunecat spre un sistem sumbru, totalitar, care permite oamenilor doar supravietuirea, oferindu-le in schimb mizerie, boala si teroare. Cei care traiesc in aceasta societate distopica sunt “restructurati” dupa un model aberant si pot fi controlati doar prin frica sau, dupa cum se incumeta sa anticipeze Aldous Huxley in Minunata lume noua, prin placere. - Şapte arte by Cristian Brinza

- Definition(s)
- Une dystopie — ou contre-utopie — est un récit de fiction peignant une société imaginaire, organisée de telle façon qu'elle empêche ses membres d'atteindre le bonheur, et contre l'avènement de laquelle l'auteur entend mettre en garde le lecteur. La dystopie s'oppose à l'utopie : au lieu de présenter un monde parfait, la dystopie propose le pire qui soit. La différence entre dystopie et utopie tient moins au contenu (car après examen, nombre d'utopies positives peuvent se révéler effrayantes) qu'à la forme littéraire et à l'intention de son auteur.

- La troisième partie de l'ouvrage, Pour un art critique aujourd'hui, explorera les nouvelles formes sous lesquelles l'art manifeste de nouveau – quand bien même le manifeste se serait fait plus individuel, l'humain rescapé de la science-fiction se dressant, tout seul, face à une impitoyable machine, à la manière des héros de quelque roman dystopique anglais, type 1984 ou Le Meilleur des mondes. - Fabula by ALIAS trad

- Definition(s)
- Antiutopie je de facto opak utopie, myšlenka fiktivní společnosti, která se vyvinula špatným směrem, má zásadní nedostatky (totalitní forma vlády, omezování osobní svobody) vzniklé přehnáním jednoho nebo více principů.[zdroj?]
Dystopie na rozdíl od antiutopie ukazuje společnost, jejíž občané jsou neskrývaně utlačováni politickým systémem. Je protikladem utopie.

- "Dystopie (jako protiklad utopie) ukazuje společnost, jejíž občané jsou neskrývaně utlačováni politickým systémem. Dystopický román se tak pohybuje na pomezí společenské fikce a nelichotivého zrcadla nastaveného společenskému vývoji." Socioweb - by Katarina Gould (X)
