Igre lakote kot distopija

diplomsko delo

Darko Voroš (Author), Victor Kennedy (Mentor)

Abstract

This diploma thesis will explore all three books of Suzanne Collins's blockbuster young adult dystopian trilogy The Hunger Games. I have compared the novels and their film adaptations, elaborated on the history and creation of the trilogy, identified the dystopian elements within it, and analysed it from a Frommian, Veblenian and Žižekian perspective. I have also sought to explain why both the novels and big-screen adaptations have become so massively popular. I have found that one reason for the popularity of this trilogy is that it resembles the old heroic myths that never go out of fashion. Furthermore, many of the themes in the trilogy have contemporary relevance and examine some of humanity's most pressing issues.

Secondary abstract:	Namen diplomske naloge je proučiti vse tri knjige priljubljene distopične trilogije Igre lakote avtorice mladinske književnosti Suzanne Collins. Primerjal sem romane in njihove filmske upodobitve, raziskal zgodovino in nastanek trilogije ter proučil distopične elemente v njej. Delo sem analiziral z vidika Frommovih, Veblenovih in Žižkovih teorij. Prav tako sem skušal pojasniti, zakaj te knjige in njihove filmske upodobitve doživljajo tako izjemen uspeh. Po mojih ugotovitvah je eden izmed razlogov ta, da trilogija vsebuje prvine starih junaških mitov, ki nikoli ne zastarajo. Nadaljnji razlog je, da trilogija tematizira aktualne družbene pojave in ustrezno obravnava sodobne izzive človeštva.
