Author(s) HUZAIFA SIDDIQUE

Abstract Title: Tracing Technocratic Corporatism: A Marxist Analysis of Suzzane Collins’ The Hunger Games Trilogy The thesis presents a Marxist analysis of Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games Trilogy, focusing on the theme of technocratic corporatism. Drawing on theoretical perspectives such as Villa’s technocapitalism, Althusser’s theory of state apparatuses, Feenberg’s critical theory of technology, the study explores the socio-political implications of technocratic corporatism as portrayed in the trilogy. The research employs a qualitative textual analysis method to examine the texts of the trilogy, unveiling the underlying power dynamics and class struggle within the fictional society. By employing Marxist analysis, the study critically evaluates the ways in which technocratic corporatism perpetuates inequality, exploitation, and alienation among the citizens of Panem. Through this analysis, the research sheds light on the implications of technocratic corporatism in contemporary societies and offers insight into the potential consequences of unchecked technological advancements and consolidation of power by dominant corporations. Ultimately, this study contributes to the understanding of the dystopian genre and offers a critical perspective on the interplay between technology, capitalism, and governance in the modern world.
