Novela juvenil de ficción prospectiva española en el siglo XXI: entre el miedo y la esperanza

In recent years we have witnessed the emergence of a dystopian and apocalyptic phenomenon which significantly has impacted young readers. The aim of this dissertation is to trace the connections between the Spanish prospective young adult novels and the crises of the 21st century. From a selection of Spanish dystopian and apocalyptic young adult novels, I will analyze the close relationship between literature and society, starting from a process that begins in the genesis or production of these novels, in which writers choose between the spaces of possible themes, motifs, style, narrator, etc., influenced by the social actors involved in the process (editors, literary reading mediators, readers and society). Then, I will analyze the distribution, how the work is chosen by editors and literary reading mediators to culminate in the analysis of the consumption of this genre in Spain, trying to discern the model reader and its impact as a tool of criticism and literary education. Mass media, the reflections of contemporary sociologists and philosophers, and literary criticism that analyses the links between literature and society will allow us to establish connections between the literary phenomenon and the social scenery we are living, keeping its global dimension in view. Throughout the period of this research work, events such as 9/11, the 2008 financial crisis, the 15-M protest movement in Spain, the Covid-19 pandemic, wars such as those in Ukraine and Palestine, or the threat of global warming have occurred, which have marked and continue to mark our relationships and social perceptions. I will be examining these historical milestones in the literary phenomenon at hand, in order to gain an ample view of the future of the prospective genre in the field of Spanish young adult literature, whose reflection oscillates between paralysing fear and hope, which, besides optimism, is capable of generating a new world (Han, 2024).
