The Centre for Contemporary Literature is hosting a one-day symposium on Dystopia Now.
In an era of global turbulence, what pertinence do fictional dystopias have? Is dystopia a key genre for our time? Does it seem more vital than utopia? What key dystopian narratives are being produced now? What can we learn from rereading dystopias of the past in the light of the present?
Full details coming soon.
