Children, Mutts, Tributes : Reading Trauma in Fan Art of "The Hunger Games" Bond, Chloe

Description

Against a backdrop of hyperconnectivity and myriad geopolitical crises, young people are consistently being exposed to increasingly violent images. YA trauma narratives can serve as learning spaces and sociocultural models to help them respond to such materials in productive, healthy ways. An increasing body of research has also highlighted that fan art, which engages in "remixing" and "restorying" practices, can function as a meaningful form of activism and offer us a window into young people's lives. Using responses to Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games trilogy as a case study, this project aims to answer the following research question: what can 'reading' fan art tell us about how young people conceptualise trauma, specifically PTSD?
