Teaching with Dystopian Text propounds an exchange of spatial to
pedagogical practices centered around “Orwellian Spaces”
signaling a new utility for teaching with dystopian texts in
secondary education. The volume details the urgency of dystopian
texts for secondary students, providing theoretical frameworks,
classroom examples, and practical research. The function of
dystopian texts, such as George Orwell’s 1984, as social and
political critique is demonstrated as central to their power.
Teaching with Dystopian Text: Exploring Orwellian Spaces for
Student Empowerment and Resilience makes a case that dystopian
texts can be instrumental in the transfer of spatial practices to
pedagogical practices. Pedagogical application creates links
between the text and the student through defamiliarization,
connecting the student to practices of resistance in the space of
the classroom. The volume also addresses the challenges of teaching
dystopian text in a dystopian educational climate including the
COVID-19 lockdown. In addition to appealing to scholars and
researchers of literacy education, language education, and
dystopian text, secondary teachers will also find this book a
powerful yet accessible resource as they address dystopian concerns
with students in the complicated 21st century.
