This thesis experiments with the notions of utopia and dystopia, and concentrates on the theme of hyper-surveillance in dystopian literature, which is first introduced in George Orwell's 1984. In this thesis, I explore this theme by endeavoring an analysis of two dystopian fiction novels: John Brunner's The Shockwave Rider and Dave Eggers's The Circle. According to the close-reading of these texts, I demonstrate how this theme is represented and in which matters it can be linked to contemporary society.

Longtemps, l'humanité a vécu en pensant qu'elle avait tout son temps, que le progrès n'en finirait pas de transformer le monde à notre avantage, que les hommes seraient toujours plus riches, plus beaux, plus performants, que l'on pouvait fabriquer indéfiniment des bombes nucléaires sans risquer de les employer et que nous avions le droit de prélever à l'envi toutes les richesses de la planète sans jamais entamer son capital. Cette époque est révolue. Nous savons maintenant que le temps nous est compté et qu'à force de travailler contre nous-mêmes, nous risquons de fabriquer une Terre où aucun de nous ne voudra vivre. Dans ce livre qui ressemble à un avis de tempête, Albert Jacquard passe en revue les questions à propos desquelles il est urgent de procéder à une refonte complète de nos habitudes. Non, le pire n'est pas certain, mais nous devons nous hâter

"In this collection, Canadian scholars articulate a response to their collective concerns about the impact of global policy on teacher education, provoking a far-reaching dialogue about teacher education in and for our times. The first two decades of the new millennium have witnessed unprecedented appraisal, analysis, and educational policy formulations related to teaching (K–12) across the Western world. In turn, teacher education has been greatly impacted, as governments around the world see the reform and management of teacher education as a key component in restructuring education toward greater economic competitiveness. The result has been an unwarranted and undesirable level of standardization. It is vital to the future of teacher education, and concomitantly public education, that we imagine alternatives to the homogenization of the educational experience that globalizing policies install. What is needed are vocabularies that enable educators and teacher educators to discern and articulate educational purposes beyond capital and which focus on the kinds of educational experiences that can help prepare the young to lead good and worthwhile lives. Using lessons learned from the Canadian context, the authors identify and investigate the importance of initial and continuing professional education that fosters teachers’ intellectual freedom and study; advances an informed and critical appreciation of civic particularity and historical circumstance; and cultivates ethical (i.e., pedagogical) engagement with ideas and histories—teachers’ own and their students—as crucial themes of teacher education globally."--
