Vol. 10 No. 1 (2024): Colloquia Comparativa Litterarum
This issue's leading theme: DYSTOPIA: Traditions, Genre Dynamics, Directions of Transformation
Dystopia is a genre of crisis in the modern world, and symptomatically it is becoming increasingly relevant and popular in 21st century literature – as a genre, but no less so as a narrative approach, a type of fiction that adapts to other approaches and genres. Dystopian foresight is more than ever emerging as a practical act by which writers respond to the crises that beset our world. Even Bulgarian literature, which has almost no dystopian tradition, is experiencing a wave of interest in "anti-utopia", as we are accustomed to naming this genre.
Thematic aspects: historical roots of contemporary dystopia; continuity with the last quarter of the 20th century; political dimensions of dystopian space; subgenre forms and variations; migration of dystopian narrative to mythology, folklore and mass culture; crisis of humanism; problems of the posthuman, post-pessimism.
