Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Trump:Images from Literature and
Visual Arts treats literature, film, television series, and comic
books dealing with utopian and dystopian worlds reflecting on or
anticipating our current age. From Henry James's dreamlike utopia
of "The Great Good Place" to the psychotic world of Brett Easton
Ellis's American Psycho, from science fiction and recent horror
films, television adaptations of books such as Margaret Atwood's
The Handmaid's Tale, and new series such as Black Mirror to the
repressive Hitlerian dystopia of Katherine Burdekin's Swastika
Night, the contributors examine the development of scenarios that
either prefigure the rise of individuals such as Donald J. Trump or
suggest alternatives to them. Ultimately, one might say of the
worlds presented here, viewed from different social and political
perspectives: one person's utopia is another's dystopia. This is
the fifth in a series of books edited by Barbara Brodman and James
E. Doan, and published by Rowman & Littlefield with Fairleigh
Dickinson University Press. The Universal Vampire: Origins and
Evolution of a Legend and Images of the Modern Vampire: The Hip and
the Atavistic (both in 2013) focused on the vampire legend in
traditional and modern thought. The Supernatural Revamped: From
Timeworn Legends to Twenty-First-Century Chic (2016) examined a
range of supernatural beings in literature, film, and other forms
of popular culture. Apocalyptic Chic: Visions of the Apocalypse and
Post-Apocalypse in Literature and Visual Arts (2017) dealt with
legends and images of the apocalypse and post-apocalypse in film
and graphic arts, literature and lore from early to modern times,
and from peoples and cultures around the world.
