SUMMARY:Inquiring Minds: “Worlds Gone Wrong—What Is Dystopian Literature and Why Should You Know About It?”
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, October 29\, Ferrum College’s Inquiring Minds series will feature “Worlds Gone Wrong: What Is Dystopian Literature and Why Should You Know About It?” Professor of English Lana A. Whited will lead a discussion of the increasing popularity of literature about terrible fictional places and her new English course on The Dystopian Tradition. The program is free and open to the public. \nInquiring Minds offers lively\, informal presentations and activities on various interesting topics for the entire community. Stanley Library at Ferrum College presents the series on most Wednesdays during the academic year\, in the LEaP Studio on the library’s main floor during the campus’s community hour from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. \nWhited’s presentation will ask the audience to consider what they would do if the world seemed to be falling apart. “For over 100 years\, writers and filmmakers have imagined catastrophes of various types (political\, medical\, etc.) and how to survive them\,” wrote Whited. Imaginative works created by these artists are labelled dystopian\, and “dystopia” literally means “bad place” because a dystopian world is no place you’d want to live.  \nRead more about it at https://www.ferrum.edu/news/ferrum-college-inquiring-minds-series-presents-worlds-gone-wrong-what-is-dystopian-literature-on-october-29.
