Produktbeschreibung

Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1.0, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Anglistik & Amerikanistik), course: Genre: Fiction, language: English, abstract: This seminar paper will deep dive into the origins of climate fiction, and the imagery used in the novel, as well as compare it to current realities, to unveil how The Scorch Trials serves as an allegory of the pressing issues of climate change and a possible future we might face and why it can be categorized as cli-fi. Is climate fiction merely a subgenre of science fiction, or could we already classify it as a genre of its own? How do we understand the cultural context of such narratives, and what realities do climate fiction draw from? A link to James Dasher's novel Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials is to be made by looking into dystopian narratives and current pressing climate issues portrayed in The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials through climate fiction narration.
