中文摘要：法国哲学家米歇尔·福柯的“权力话语”学说是20世纪70年代兴起于西方学术界的一种具有强烈的政治性和文化批判色彩的学术理论，他认为世界上的任何“知识”，归根结底都是一种“话语/权力”的较量。本论文旨在结合福柯的“权力话语”学说，通过一些具体的情节和人物的分析，探究小说《一九八四》中个体在极权环境下的生存与反抗，并得出人性永恒的结论。本文将首先大致介绍福柯的“权力话语”理论，主要从权力关系、权力斗争和精神肉体控制这三个层面展开；之后将结合理论解读《一九八四》中的极权统治，依次解读小说中“大洋国”的社会阶级、永无休止的战争以及“新话”和“双重思想”等极权手段，与理论对应；之后分析人物在这三类权力压迫下的挣扎；最后揭示人物在极权环境下的人性救赎之路,阐述其在当下之意义。
