Article Title
Three Seasons With Fahrenheit 451
Abstract
On November 11,1985 the Rycenga Lecture Series, sponsored by the Department of English, the Convocation Committee, and the Student Government of Sacred Heart University, presented a screening of Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury's science fiction novel about a future world in which books are not only banned but burned. (Bradbury's title comes from the temperature at which book paper catches fire.) Following the film, George Bluestone, a filmmaker, writer, and critic currently teaching at Boston University, delivered a lecture on "Technological Futopianism and Fahrenheit 451" and led a discussion on issues not only by Bradbury and Truffaut but also by a variety of other artists and social analysts concerned with the impact of technology on modern life and art. The following is an edited transcript of Professor Bluestone s talk and his responses to questions from the audience.
