Political Jargon and Empty Words – Censoring Thought?
Orwell writes about words whose meanings have become empty and easily manipulated. He sees this as a form of
censorship
that can even lead to
self-censorship.Slide12
Sloganeering
Employing or inventing slogans– especially in a political context
Reducing complex ideas to a small phrase whose meaning is tough to pin down and difficult to refute.Slide13

Information Overload

From fahrenheit

, by ray
bradbury
“
Cram them full of non-combustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts'
they feel
stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change
.” Slide16
Spectacle and Ritual
Many philosophers and thinkers who followed Orwell focused on the role of Ritual and Spectacle as forms of propaganda– though Orwell certainly showed the role of ritual and propaganda in oppressive societies.
