Le chroniqueur, \u00e9crivain et po\u00e9te am\u00e9ricain Ben Tanosborn publie sur le site OnLine Journal, le 2 juillet<\/a>, une r\u00e9flexion pour la f\u00eate nationale am\u00e9ricaine du 4 juillet 2005 : \u00ab Fourth of July reflections: US is just us . . . all of us.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tR\u00e9flexion grave et profonde qui consiste \u00e0 simplement exposer l’\u00e9vidence : l’utopie optimiste qu’\u00e9tait l’Am\u00e9rique est en train de devenir son double mal\u00e9fique, une dystopie, un syst\u00e8me d’esclavage volontaire, notamment selon le terme caract\u00e9risant le 1984<\/em> de George Orwell. L’id\u00e9e est de repousser la d\u00e9marche des responsabilit\u00e9s parcellaires, notamment celles de l’administration GW ou celles de la droite int\u00e9gristes, pour constater qu’il s’agit de la responsabilit\u00e9 de tous les Am\u00e9ricaines : \u00ab US is just us all of us.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab America has always been the hoped-for utopia for free people with a heart . . . but of late we’ve stopped asking questions of our government . . . of us. If we insist on carrying on with this sheep mentality, and allow the corrosion of our conscience, of our soul, we may turn this land into a dystopia . . . a nation in self-imposed captivity and certain decline.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Lest we forget, US is more than a symbol for a nation . . . it is simply us.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tSur le concept de dystopie, on trouve notamment cette explication dans un texte de Yves Breton<\/a>, consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 ce m\u00eame 1984<\/em>:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab La dystopie se distingue de la contre-utopie, non dans le rapport qu’elle entretient avec le futur, mais avec le discours utopique lui-m\u00eame: elle tend \u00e0 transformer en cauchemar ce qui fonde le r\u00eave utopique, soit l’harmonie d’un syst\u00e8me clos qui devient la prison du conformisme absolu et l’ahistoricit\u00e9 d’un perp\u00e9tuel pr\u00e9sent o\u00f9 disparaissent, avec le pass\u00e9, les diverses perspectives de changement ou de nouvelle harmonisation des relations entre les membres de la communaut\u00e9.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
