Religion and the Arts in <i>The Hunger Games</i>: Brill Research Perspectives in Humanities and Social Sciences / Brill Research Perspectives in Religion and the Arts

Autor Zhange Ni
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 dec 2020
In this selective overview of scholarship generated by The Hunger Games—the young adult dystopian fiction and film series which has won popular and critical acclaim—Zhange Ni showcases various investigations into the entanglement of religion and the arts in the new millennium. Ni introduces theories, methods, and the latest developments in the study of religion in relation to politics, audio/visual art, new media, material culture, and popular culture, whilst also reading The Hunger Games as a story that explores the variety, complexity, and ambiguity of enchantment. In popular texts such as this, religion and art—both broadly construed, that is, beyond conventional boundaries—converge in creating an enchantment that makes life more bearable and effects change in the world.

Recenzii

"...it offers an incredibly rare and valuable insight into a sparsely discussed scholarly field. Zhang does an admirable job at bringing together prison case studies and subsequently succeeds in granting the reader an invaluable insight into Míng popular religion." - J. Chadwin, University of Vienna, in: Religious Studies Review Volume 47, Number 3 (September 2021)
