A Sandbox for Social Justice: Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games Trilogy as an Experimental Environment for Contemplation of Social and Political Issues Analysed Through a Foucauldian and Genre Perspective

Bachelor thesis | Engelse taal en cultuur (BA)
In this thesis I have argued that Collins' The Hunger Games trilogy forms a sandbox for Young Adults to consider and play around issues of social justice. I have linked the events in the books to events in historical or contemporary societies and have done so by making use of Foucault's political theory of a control and disciplinary society.
