The 2012 film The Hunger Games and its three sequels, appearing
quickly over the following three years, represent one of the most
successful examples of the contemporary popularity of
youth-oriented speculative film and television series. This book
considers "The Hunger Games" as an intertextual field centred on
this blockbuster film franchise but also encompassing the
successful novels that preceded them and the merchandised imagery
and the critical and fan discourse that surrounds them. It explores
the place of The Hunger Games in the history of youth-oriented
cinema; in the history of speculative fiction centred on
adolescents; in a network of continually evolving and tightly
connected popular genres; and in the popular history of changing
ideas about girlhood from which a successful action hero like
Katniss Everdeen could emerge.
