Özet:

Science fiction narratives are fictional texts that feed on the existing reality while depicting a universe at another time or on another planet. Based on the conditions, concerns, and expectations of the era they were produced, they offer possibilities, and alternatives for the future. Adapted from Suzanne Collins’ novel series, The Hunger Games is a sci-fi narrative addressing many contemporary global problems such as the food crisis, subclasses sent to death to protect the power of privileged classes, socio-economic injustice in a tyranny based on fear, and spectacle. In The Hunger Games, dealing with the society created by the class injustice, and technology serving the power from a dystopian perspective, the concepts of barbarism, and civilization are brought into question. Through this discussion, it is emphasized that the solution was not to negotiate with the system but to eliminate tyrants, and abolish the exploitation based system. In this study, The Hunger Games series is examined within the framework of the concepts of spectacle society, surveillance, justice, and revolt.
