Abstract This article is about a recent wave of literary dystopias published in Israel, most of which center on the soon-to-come destruction of the Jewish state. Notable among these are The Third (Ha-shlishi) by Yishai Sarid (2015), Mud (Tit) by Dror Burstein (2016), and Nuntia (Kfor) by Shimon Adaf (2010). These texts draw on biblical or Rabbinic Hebrew, Jewish sources, and Jewish historical events (specifically the destruction of the First and Second Temples), making them just as much about a dystopian past as they are about a dystopian future. They are, in other words, dystopias of a circul

Abstract:
During the first two decades of the 21st century an increasing amount of narratives termed as Arabic dystopian fiction appeared on the Arabic literary scene, with a greater part authored by Egyptian writers. However, what characterises/marks a work as a dystopia? This paper investigates the dystopian nature of a selection of Egyptian literary works within the frame of the dystopian narrative tradition. The article begins by introducing the features of the traditional literary dystopias as they will be used in the analysis. It then gives a brief overview of the development of the genre in the A

Abstract:
Literature is the total of preserved writings belonging to a given language or people. It is a product of life and about life. It uses language as a medium. A dystopia is an imaginary society or community characterized by undesirable, frightening, and often oppressive conditions in a totalitarian society. Dystopian literature is a genre of fiction that enables authors to examine the consequences of human decisions, social and politicalpatterns, and technological processes. It characterizes a society plagued with suffering, poverty, or oppression. Dystopias are extremely flawed societies. In th

Abstract:
For over a centurynow, dystopian visions of the future have been an integral part of the strategies through which literature reacts to changes in the world. However, dystopia is not always an entirely new world. Sometimes, it is an element in a world born from a utopian impulse. The article explores the variations of the dystopianin two such worlds influenced by the works of William James: Bernard Wolfe's Limboand in Ursula K. Le Guin's The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas. The analysis adopts the concept of dystopia as utopia’s shadow, and traces the moments when the world, the body, and the la

Abstract:
This article argues that sociologists have much to gain from a fuller engagement with dystopian literature. This is because (i) the speculation in dystopian literature tends to be more grounded in empirical social reality than in the case of utopian literature, and (ii) the literary conventions of the dystopia more readily illustrate the relationship between the inner life of the individual and the greater whole of social-historical reality. These conventional features mean dystopian literature is especially attuned to how historically-conditioned social forces shape the inner life and persona

Abstract:
The trope of the utopian island occurs in a variety of cultural traditions. For example, in the West, the literary imagination of ideal islandness made manifest an imperialist rhetoric and contributed to European exploration and colonization. The tension between utopia and dystopia is an intrinsic feature of Western utopian island imaginations, which were complicit in colonial exploitation and oppression. Western models of island utopias and dystopias have been imposed on non-Western cultures, whose scholars have engaged in decolonial practices by adapting, reshaping, and transforming these co

Abstract This article analyses the relationship between black humor and dystopian literature. In dystopia, humor can appear on the surface as language or situational comics, but there is also a deeper link between these two literary phenomena: they confront the reader with an unexpected notion in order to bring him to a critical reflection. There are many dystopias in the Nordic literature that use comic elements. Three of them are discussed in this article: Axel Jensens Epp (1965), Lena Anderssons Duck City (2006) and Kaspar Colling Nielsens Den danske borgerkrig 2018–24 (2013). The analysis

A dystopia is an imaginary community or society that is dehumanized and is therefore terrifying with people who are forced to battle for survivalin a ruined environment with technological control and oppression by the governing authority. Dystopian novels or films can challenge readers to think differently about the current social and political contexts, and can even promptpositive actions for the future of human beings.

In several of Shakespeare's comedies, the protagonists leave the civilized world and venture into the green world, or nature, to escape from the irrational law of society, which is the case in such comedies as As You Like It and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Elements of the green world can also be found in Shakespearean tragedy, where the natural retreat serves as a temporary escape for the protagonists. Such a green world exists in three of the most

Abstract:
Higher Education Student burnout is an increasingly educational and social concern. The problem is complex and multilayered, demanding new approaches in predicting hazardous situations that can lead to the demise of the mental and physical well-being of the students.
