Abstract

Through Judith Butler’s theories, it is depicted that dystopia is embedded within our most precious ideals. Dystopia depicts a world in which the right to choose and self-discovery has lost all meaning, and in which individuals are tools through which ideology is implemented. Zoya Pirzad, in her book, Things We Left Unsaid, talks about the unfairness of cultural values. She questions idealistic attitudes towards life’s realities and invites us towards new definitions of humanity. It is revealed in this research that our attitudes towards humanity can be very rigid and restrictive; in a way that the differences that show humanity’s complexity and beauty are considered unpleasant and unnatural and the result is nothing but pain and unhappiness.

佐伊亚·皮尔扎德《我们未说的事》中女性的反乌托邦困境和恐惧

通过朱迪思·巴特勒的理论，我们可以看到，反乌托邦根植于我们最宝贵的理想之中。反乌托邦描绘了一个世界，在这个世界里，选择和自我发现的权利已经失去了所有的意义，在这个世界里，个人是实现意识形态的工具。Zoya Pirzad在她的书《我们没有说出来的事情》中谈到了文化价值观的不公平。她质疑对生活现实的理想主义态度，并邀请我们对人性进行新的定义。这项研究表明，我们对人性的态度可能非常僵化和限制;在某种程度上，显示人类复杂性和美丽的差异被认为是不愉快的和不自然的，结果除了痛苦和不快乐什么都没有。
