الملخص

ABSTRACTDystopian literature often aims to provide visions of possible futures where humanity as a wholecan be endangered. Such writers, regardless of language and ethnicity, aim to warn readers ofthe possible threats to privacy, security, and freedom. This dissertation, therefore, examines thenotion of what dystopia and totalitarianism have meant to individuals throughout the history ofdevelopment of a dystopian society by examining Yoko Ogawa’s The Memory Police. Itexamines Ogawa’s unique portrayal of a dystopian society and a totalitarian government. Itfurther aims to investigate the tropes used by the “Memory Police” in erasing objects, abstractconcepts, animals, plants, and above all, the memory of those same things. Through censorship,torture, and surveillance, the totalitarian government of the unnamed island succeeds in slowlyerasing and even eroding human bodies of the characters. Additionally, this study takes a closerlook at how the totalitarian government of the island embodied in the “Memory Police” affectsindividuals including their ways of resistance and leads to subtle ways of empowerment againstthe regime.
