Summary/Abstract: The article Corporeal and Identity in Dystopias analyses various identity-related aspects in three reference novels of the genre: When The Sleeper Awakes, We and Nineteen Eighty-Four, using the interdisciplinarity triggered by the theme, and the converging points of these narratives. The dystopian space is a very rich one for the existential crisis of the individual, which it follows from various points of view: sociological, historical, psychological, bio-ethical and philosophical. The understanding issue is another highly important aspect in this analysis, as it mirrors the efficiency of the respective literary genre and the impact of the writings as possible mentality studies.
