Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a postura do porco Napoleão, personagem principal da obra Animal Farm, de George Orwell e de Paulo Honório, protagonista do livro São Bernardo, de Graciliano Ramos.  Cercados pelos muros sociais, ambas as personagens são impossibilitadas de romper com sua condição e acabam levadas às práticas antigas de dominação. Reflexões acerca da teoria do ‘habitus’, de Pierre Bourdieu, norteiam o presente trabalho e oferecem subsídios necessários para a compreensão das relações sociais estabelecidas nas obras estudadas bem como as da vida real. Para além das contribuições de Bourdie, buscamos abordar a relação entre literatura e sociedade à luz de Antonio Candido.

<p>À luz das traduções intersemióticas, reaproximamos a obra literária <em>A Revolução dos Bichos</em> (Animal Farm, 1946), de George Orwell, e o álbum <em>Animals</em> (1977), da banda de rock progressivo Pink Floyd, de modo a realizarmos análises comparativas sobre as transmutações que os signos de linguagens verbais sofreram ao migrarem para um código de linguagem musical. Com o foco nos aspectos da <em>animalidade</em>, veremos como tal instinto, compartilhado entre humanos e alegorias animalescas para representar formas de poder na arte, foi tratado nas duas distopias de linguagens diferentes, sendo que a obra pinkfloydiana é declarada e explicitamente decalque da literatura orwellinana.</p>

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.
