No. of bitstreams: 1 000470076-Texto+Completo-0.pdf: 459079 bytes, checksum: 8ea1ef31b39fa81370289067c0e79afb (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015 / The twentieth century was affluent in dystopian narratives, which arose from a specific historical moment, expressing the anxieties and fears that people had in that moment. It is possible to perceive common influences among such works, as the dictatorships that ravaged Europe during the World Wars and the ambiguous role of progress and science within this context. With the beginning of the new millennium, there was a significant return of these narratives, this time to the young audience, leading us to question ourselves about the reason that made them become relevant to these young readers and about the possible traits of our time that lead them to fear the present and the future. Thus, this master’s thesis aimed to understand the way the young adult dystopias functioned and to perceive how they differed from those written in the twentieth century, attempting to delineate a possible profile and also to encourage more discussions about these literary works. For this purpose, we explored the universe of the trilogies The Hunger Games and Divergent, written by the Americans Suzanne Collins and Veronica Roth, and we used the theoretical works of authors that engaged themselves to examine the dystopias and utopias, as Chad Walsh, Jerzy Szazhi and Keith Booker, and also other social theorists, as Michel Foucault and Slavoj Zizek. We discussed about Young Adult literature, the rising of dystopias in the twentieth century and the manner how these works set their societies. / O século XX foi rico em narrativas distópicas, que surgiram de um determinado momento histórico, expressando os anseios e medos que as pessoas tinham então. É possível perceber influências comuns entre tais obras, como as ditaduras que assolavam a Europa durante as guerras mundiais e o papel ambíguo do progresso e da ciência nesse contexto. Com a entrada do novo milênio, houve um retorno significativo dessas narrativas, desta vez para o público adolescente, nos fazendo questionar o porquê de elas passarem a ter relevância para esses jovens leitores e também as possíveis características do nosso tempo que os levaram a temer pelo presente e pelo futuro. Deste modo, este trabalho buscou compreender o funcionamento das distopias juvenis e perceber de que maneira elas diferiam daquelas escritas durante o século XX, tentando traçar um possível perfil e também abrir mais espaço para a discussão dessas obras literárias. Para tanto, exploramos os universos das trilogias Jogos Vorazes e Divergente, das escritoras americanas Suzanne Collins e Veronica Roth, usando os trabalhos de autores que se engajaram em examinar as distopias e as utopias – como Chad Walsh, Jerzy Szachi e Keith Booker – e também outros teóricos sociais – como Michel Foucault e Slavoj Zizek. Foram discutidas questões sobre a literatura juvenil, sobre a ascensão das distopias no século XX e a maneira como tais obras configuram suas sociedades.
