   Magister-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för film och litteratur (IFL)

   Författare :Elisabeth Lahti Davidsson; [2016]
   Nyckelord :We; Kallocain; dystopian novel; love; sexuality; the modern project; comparative study; Karin Boye; Yevgeny Zamyatin; Vi; Kallocain; dystopi; kärlek; sexualitet; det moderna projektet; komparativ studie; Karin Boye; Jevgenij Zamyatin;

   Sammanfattning : My aim with this essay is to analyse how the theme of sexuality and love in two dystopian novels – We  (1924),  by Yevgeny Zamyatin and Kallocain  (1940), by Karin Boye – relate to “the modern project”, a term I use to identify a cluster of important ideas that profoundly impacted society in the first decades of the 20th century. My analysis is based on a theoretical point of view claiming that dystopian novels present a critical perspective on society, and that they deal with issues, problems and values specific to the period in which they were written.
