Resumo:
The 20th century was shaped by the great world wars that also changed all around the
globe and left a lof of destruction and death. A lot of movements with utopian ideas
further radicalized these processes and, on the other hand, emerges the dystopia
gender, emphasizing the concerns about the political and economic world situation and
also criticizing the utopian ideal. In the 21st century, dystopia gender is again
successful, mainly the literary and cinematographic series created by Suzanne Collins,
The Hunger Games. Based on the concepts of Practice by Michel Certeau (1998) and
Controversy by Bruno Latour (2012) and Bruno Latour & Woolgar (1997), this work
aims to analyze, discuss and understand the dystopian universe created by Collins
through the discussion of the wars of the 20th century and its transformations, the
utopian and dystopian ideal in this period and the influences and inspirations that made
Collins to create her work. The main sources used in this work are all The Hunger
Games’ movies and its prelude The Song of Birds and Serpents, and also the main
dystopia books of the 20th century and historians such as Eric Hobsbawm (1995) and
René Rémond (2003) and the author Evanir Pavloski (2005).
