![]() ![]() Nadsat is the sticky creative juice that fuels A Clockwork Orange's cult status. ![]() Sixty years on from its publication (and more than a half-century after Stanley Kubrick's infamous film adaptation), the book's lingo has peppered pop culture, across music (band names like Moloko, Campag Velocet and Heaven 17 song titles by musicians including New Order and Lana Del Rey concept albums such as Brazilian metallers Sepultura's A-Lex, 2009 lyrics including David Bowie's Girl Loves Me, from his final album Blackstar, 2016) art (a new major UK exhibition is entitled The Horror Show!) and nightlife (from legendary Ibiza club Clockwork Orange, to NADSAT: a 2021 compilation of young LGBTQ musicians from Paris). The word "Nadsat" derives from a Russian suffix meaning "teen", and the language of A Clockwork Orange is a vivid blitz of English and Russian words ("horrorshow" stems from the Russian term khorosho, meaning "good") with varied additives: Elizabethan flourishes ("thou" "thee and thine" "verily") Arabic German nursery rhyming. Fifteen-year-old Alex, the tale's ultraviolent anti-hero and "humble narrator", addresses us in the flip horrorshow slovos – that is, crazy, brilliant words – of Nadsat: a youth slang concocted by the polyglot author. ![]() Within the first few lines of Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange, we are lured into a near-future after-dark realm, and a strangely potent new language. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() NOTES: Plate descriptions are scattered through the text, I suggest using text search to find them.

What is the relation between emotion, intuition, and morality? Are moral values products of reason (rational reflection) or of experimentation and socialization? Is morality innate, biological, and genetic, or socially constructed (or something in between)? Are there any moral principles, values, or intuitions that hold steady across cultures (i.e. Emotion, Intuition, and Morality: New Cognitive Tools for Creating Empathy I suspect that those who take the time to work through Haidt’s book, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion, will come away feeling a little more positive about the prospects of discussing our differences and-at the very least-gaining understanding of the values and concerns of those on opposite ends of the religious and political spectrum. He believes that moral psychology can contribute to our capacity to understand one another, to empathize, and to improve at working together for the good of the whole. ![]() ![]() ![]() Good people are deeply divided by politics and religion-but why?

Lem still remains an iconic figure both in and out of Poland, while his enormous worldwide popularity more or less directly inspired the interest in the earlier Fantastika (John Clute's umbrella term seems particularly useful in this context, in part because of its Central- and Eastern European origin) of such Polish writers as Stefan Grabiński. Most Western sf readers associate Poland principally with the work of Stanisław Lem, whose books, widely published, much appreciated, and thoroughly scrutinized in the West, had a profound impact on the field. ![]() |
