[The World of The Hunger Games is an anthology of scholarly but
accessible essays on Suzanne Collins's epic trilogy. Spanning
multiple disciplines, its contributors probe the trilogy's meaning
using theories grounded in historicism, feminism, humanism, queer
theory, as well as cultural, political, and media studies. Although
the contributors demonstrate diverse critical perspectives
regarding Collins's novels, their work has three elements in
common: an appreciation of the trilogy as literature, a belief in
its permanent value, and a need to share both appreciation and
belief with fellow readers. To that end, this anthology's
introduction acknowledges the significance of the series as both
young adult and trans-generational/trans-genre literature. The 21
essay-chapters that follow the introduction are grouped into four
parts. Part I considers the trilogy in the context of ""History,
Politics, Economics, and Culture,"" while Part II interrogates
""Ethics, Aesthetics, and Identity"" within the novels. Part III
examines issues of ""Resistance, Surveillance, and Simulacra,""
while Part IV looks at some of the ""Thematic Parallels and
Literary Traditions"" that readers can find in Collins's
narratives. The anthology also includes a core bibliography of
dystopian and postapocalyptic works, with emphasis on the young
adult category--itself an increasingly crucial part of postmodern
culture.]
