The International Orwell: Case Studies from Eastasia, Oceania and Eurasia

这个项目旨在通过对1984年划分的不同区域：大洋洲、欧亚大陆和东亚的案例研究来重新定位我们对乔治·奥威尔的理解。它的意义来自于首次揭示和评估奥威尔多样化的、不断发展的国际重要性。该项目将产生创新的领域研究，将文学批评、国际政治史以及出版、翻译和改编方面的研究整合在一起。这些研究将塑造国际奥威尔的新形象。预计的结果将是对奥威尔在文学、文化和政治上的影响进行彻底的重新评估。其好处将是更全面地理解这位上个世纪最重要的政治作家。

This project aims to reorient our understanding of George Orwell via case studies of different zones demarcated in Nineteen Eighty-Four: Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia. Its significance derives from uncovering and assessing for the first time Orwell's diverse, evolving international importance. The project will produce innovative area studies that integrate literary criticism, international political history, and studies in publishing, translation and adaptation. These studies will fashion the new figure of an International Orwell. The expected outcome will be a radical re-evaluation Orwell's literary, cultural and political impact. The benefit will be a fuller understanding of the most important political writer of the last century.
