The City

AbstractThis article focuses on John of Salisbury’s analysis of contemporary Rome (its citizenry, its revived “republican” institutions, its ecclesiastical role, and its ancient symbolism), examining the extent to which John’s study and use of classical Roman political ideas was interwoven with his perceptions of the contemporary city. It argues that John’s use of Rome as a metaphor, specifically the trope of the avaricious Roman, had a significant impact on John’s critique and presentation of contemporary political events such as the re-establishment of the Senate, the difficulties experienced by the papacy in their efforts to control Rome, and the controversial activities of Arnold of Brescia.

Religious Icons

Portraits of heroes and leaders have been among the most widely diffused and deeply cherished of all political symbols. The political functions of such portraits grow out of distinctive semiotic qualities that set the portrait apart from other types of symbols. Judging from their public reception, George Washington's portraits — and, we believe, many state portraits — have the qualities of likeness, manifestiveness, moral efficaciousness, and sacredness that traditionally were ascribed to religious icons. From these qualities the state portrait gains a special power to bridge the distances of space and time and bring a society's representative men and women to living presence for its members. By evoking loyalties and attachments not only to the persons portrayed but also to the larger collectivities that those persons represent, state portraits function as important agencies of political integration and solidarity.

This research article aims to mirror the political symbolism and its significance in George Orwell writings with reference to “Animal Farm” and “Nineteen Eighty Four”. It is an attempt to depict the political ideologies of Orwell’s writings in the abovementioned novels, his message and legitimate fears and warning for future generations against the scandals of  totalitarianism and finally to uncover the distortion of power when spoiled by ill-mannered politicians as symbolized by room 101 in “1984” and manifested in the seven commandments prescribed by old major and later amended by Napoleon. In their pursuit to achieve the main objectives of this article, the researchers utilized a blend of approaches to find out clear-cut, evident and tangible justifications beyond Orwell’s use of “political symbolism” in both novels. That is, by virtue of adopting the analytical and critical discourse analysis methodologies along with the novels’ books of “Animal Farm” and “Nineteen Ninety Four” as the primary source of data and collected reviews offered by other writers as the secondary source of data; it could be concluded that for Orwell the political symbolism was not only a sword and shield for protection against totalitarian regimes but also was a platform for liberty and freedom of express when democracy is completely absorbed by such dictators and totalitarian governments.
