Abstract:
"Urban filth" or "dystopian" literature contrasts with utopian literature. The future imagined for human society in this genre is a sinister, pathological, and filthy future. The main concern of the novelists of dystopian literature is to pay attention to the social and political critique and the reflection of the visible and hidden social problems of the modern era. The grounds for the emergence of the dystopia are works that have looked with extreme pessimism at the reality of human life in the contemporary world. Modern fiction has a corresponding capacity for the genre of dystopian literature because it deals with the problems that have emerged in complex and new forms in today's society and have plagued our contemporaries. Sociologists are not able to clarify the psychological dimensions of these problems with their statistics and study questionnaires. Authors seek to answer the following questions: what is the genre of dystopian literature and what are its characteristics? Which components of the genre of dystopian literature do Mandanipour modern stories address? According to the study of modern works by Mandanipour, it became clear that cases such as suicide, identity loss, betrayal, loneliness of modern man, violence and cold behavior, passivity and submission, increasing the spirit of savagery among human beings, mental confrontation with self, disintegration of human relationships, severance of romantic relationship or emotional alienation in couples' relationships are the most important components of dystopia in Mandanipour’s modern stories.
