PROBLEMS AND CLASSIFICATION OF MODERN DYSTOPIA (Ukrainian and World Literature)

Abstract

The article examines the specific features of modern dystopia, the themes and issues of the genre. The object of research is modern dystopian novels of the World and Ukrainian literature. In contrast to the 20th century, the concepts of critical, feminist, digital, national (in the context of multiculturalism) dystopia were included in the literary circulation of dystopia researchers of the 21st century. Specific groups and their genre subspecies are distinguished. The article also notes that the relevance of dystopia is primarily related to socio-cultural and geopolitical catastrophes and destructive systems: wars, harsh government, tyrannical empires, authoritarianism and totalitarianism — all this breaks the utopian consciousness. And although the dream, consonant with utopia, is organic for man, as it turned out, it is unacceptable for the modern world order.
