520 The Hunger Games trilogy is a popular culture success.
Embraced by adults as well as adolescents, Suzanne
Collins?s bestselling books have inspired an equally
popular film franchise. But what, if anything, can reading
the Hunger Games tell us about what it means to be human
in the world today? What complex social and political
issues does the trilogy invite readers to explore? Does it
merely entertain, or does it also instruct? Bringing
together scholars in literacy education and the humanities,
The Politics of Panem: Challenging Genres examines how the
Hunger Games books and films, when approached from the
standpoint of theory, can challenge readers and viewers
intellectually. At the same time, by subjecting Collins?s
trilogy to literary criticism, this collection of essays
challenges its complexity as an example of dystopian
literature for adolescents. How can applying philosophic
frameworks such as those attributable to Socrates and
Foucault to the Hunger Games trilogy deepen our
appreciation for the issues it raises? What, if anything,
can we learn from considering fan responses to the Hunger
Games? How might adapting the trilogy for film complicate
its ability to engage in sharp-edged social criticism? By
exploring these and other questions, The Politics of Panem
: Challenging Genres invites teachers, students, and fans
of the Hunger Games to consider how Collins?s trilogy, as
a representative of young adult dystopian fiction,
functions as a complex narrative. In doing so, it
highlights questions and issues that lend themselves to
critical exploration in secondary and college classrooms.
