Dystopias - Loving the future we hate

  • Världskulturmuseet 54 Södra Vägen Västra Götalands län, 412 54 Sweden (map)

Discover the captivating world of dystopias in a free lecture by Joe Trotta, a linguist from Gothenburg University with a keen interest in popular culture and media.

The talk delves into the meaning of dystopias, their evolution across literature and media, and their ability to reflect societal fears and provoke critical thought. From classics like 1984 to modern works like The Hunger Games and Black Mirror, dystopias challenge beliefs and offer sharp commentary on contemporary issues. This event is a collaboration between Ett HUM om at Gothenburg University and Världskulturmuseet. While the lecture is free, museum exhibitions require a separate entrance fee.
