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:

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:

Dystopia, just as utopia, has always been immersed in political visions: utopia ‎as an ideal society and dystopia as its opposite: ‘bad place’ – a futuristic, usually ‎very near future, an imagined universe in which oppressive social control ‎rules. However, utopia and dystopia cannot be absolutely separated, there is‎ a constant threat of replacing good place by bad place, very often leading to‎ the conclusion that every utopia either leads to dystopia or already is dystopia.‎ Today, it often seems that the dystopian future has already arrived, the reality ‎itself evokes dystopian imagination

Abstract:

My aim is to comment on dystopia based on an approach that has foregrounded, from its very beginning, issues of writing in their intersection with gender and the deconstruction of high and low culture. In the first part of the article, I carry out a reflection on the genre of dystopia, how it has changed, its constituent elements and their transformations, with a look in particular to its gender dimension, its formal and thematic features, as well as to its modes of articulating horizons of hope. In the second part, I discuss dystopian conventions and developments, drawing from Lyman Sargent’s

Abstract   Jules Verne's narratives have played an essential role in science fiction literature, with wildly utopian and dystopian themes. His imagination and storytelling impacted the science fiction genre; he showed us the uses of technological advantages and disadvantages. This paper focuses on the duality of Jules Verne as a utopian and dystopian writer. This paper analyzed Verne's works, reflecting on his time's society and technological changes.

The blurring of the boundaries between utopia and dystopia and the weaving of utopian hopes and possibilities into narratives seen as belonging to the genre of the dystopian novel has been a characteristic of the latter for a long time. Overviews of developments in dystopian literature in the twentieth and the twenty-first century have noted instances of this phenomenon ranging from works in which pockets of resistance to dystopian worlds carry with them hopes for a utopian future to ones in which utopian hope is read in the faces of a handful of survivors who have heroically emerged from amon

Abstract:

During the past decade, the Egyptian literary scene witnessed the rise of dystopian novels. Even though the emergence of this genre stems mainly from the overall socio-political conditions and the general atmosphere of oppression in the country, this phenomenon has often been interpreted in terms of the disappointing results of the 25th January revolution in 2011. Since dystopias generally paint a bleak picture of society, they are often believed to reflect a rather pessimistic view of their authors. However, according to R. Baccolini and T.

Among the myriad themes explored by dystopian literature, which delves into the pressing concerns of humanity’s future, violence stands out as a significant subject. This violence may manifest in two distinct forms: individual violence, which is overt and readily apparent, and institutional violence, which often remains insidious, cloaked in deceptive justifications. This study endeavors to illuminate the manifestations of violence within two dystopian narratives: Mercury by the esteemed Egyptian author Mohamed Rabie, and A Clockwork Orange by the renowned British writer Anthony Burgess.

This research paper explores the history and evolution of digital dystopian novels, examining their emergence, major works, themes, reception, and influence. Digital dystopian literature represents a subgenre of dystopian literature that delves into the dark side of technological progress, envisioning futures where advanced technology exacerbates societal issues or creates new forms of oppression. The paper discusses the historical context of dystopian literature, the transition to the digital era, and the influences of cybernetics and the information age. It analyzes major works such as "1984

Abstract:

This study examines the power relations of the characters in dystopian-themed visual culture narratives. The study is based on the reasons that lead to the construction of the concept of hegemony, how a hegemonic system is processed in the dystopian narrative, and the effect of this system on the social norms among the characters. This study examines both how social norms enable the functioning of the hegemony system and how the characters are separated among themselves according to age, gender, power, and race differences. The study examines the young-adolescent TV series The Society (2019) i

<em>This article examines the portrayal of children in dystopian literature and film in the 21st century. It analyzes how these works depict children as victims of oppressive and authoritarian regimes, exploring themes such as loss of innocence, trauma, and resilience. The article also discusses how dystopian narratives use children as symbols for hope and rebellion against oppressive systems, while highlighting the dangers of apathy and complacency. Through an analysis of popular examples such as The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner, this article argues that dystopian fiction provides a power

Abstract:

Given that the fictional narratives found in novels, movies, and television shows enjoy wide public consumption, memorably convey information, minimize counter-arguing, and often emphasize politically-relevant themes, we argue that greater scholarly attention must be paid to theorizing and measuring how fiction affects political attitudes. We argue for a genre-based approach for studying fiction effects, and apply it to the popular dystopian genre. Results across three experiments are striking: we find consistent evidence that dystopian narratives enhance the willingness to justify radical—esp

Abstract:

Abstract The Internet has often been envisioned as a technological utopia, framed by the rhetoric of hope. However, after studying the popular discourse, three meta-narratives are identified: utopian narratives containing the pro-innovation position; dystopian narratives containing the anti-diffusion position; technology-as-risk narratives containing the control position. While narratives of anti-diffusion are more or less invisible, narratives of control are surprisingly absent from the scientific discourse about the Internet. The present article sets out to explore narratives of control as t

Abstract:

One of the main pillars of posthuman and transhuman thought is the use of technology as a means to ameliorate human life by helping overcome the flaws and limitations of the biological body. The effect of such trends has been central to the development of contemporary, third-turn dystopian novels in English, published in the past thirty or so years. However, one important aspect of such narratives is also their list of transgressive characteristics, distancing them from their modern, second-turn counterparts. The following article aims to discuss how transgressive the ideas of dystopia and tra

Abstract:

Throughout history, oppressive regimes, theocratic governments, and extreme patriarchal control have shaped societies like those usually depicted in dystopian fiction. The Puritan theocracy in early America, the Islamic Revolution in Iran, and the persecution of women worldwide serve as real-life parallels to the imagined horrors reflected in The Handmaid’s Tale. The novel explores the future scenario of prevailing societal trends if they are extended to their ultimate consequences.

Abstract:

In a world where survival is dictated by those in power, control extends beyond politics to the very essence of life itself. This study analyses The Maze Runner and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes through the lens of biopower, a concept introduced by Michel Foucault to describe how modern societies exercise control over populations through the regulation of life, health, and bodies. Both novels depict dystopian worlds where authority figures manipulate and control individuals, reflecting the broader dynamics of biopower. Concepts in relation to biopower – like the control of power through l
