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. 001399427 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001399427 60010 $$aCollins, Suzanne$$xCriticism and interpretation. 001399427 60010 $$aCollins, Suzanne.$$tHunger Games (Series) 001399427 650_0 $$aDystopias in literature. 001399427 7001_ $$aConnors, Sean P.,$$eeditor. 001399427 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tPolitics of Panem$$z9789462098053$$w(OCoLC)890168762 001399427 830_0 $$aCritical literacy teaching series, challenging authors and genre ;$$vv. 6. 001399427 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 001399427 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10931980$$zOnline Access 001399427 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:711757$$pGLOBAL_SET 001399427 980__ $$aEBOOK 001399427 980__ $$aBIB 001399427 982__ $$aEbook 001399427 983__ $$aOnline 001399427 994__ $$a92$$bISE
