SUMMARY:

Fantasy and dystopia seem to have fallen in the taste of young readers through books like Harry Potter (1997) and Hunger Games (2008). Both books present an alternative way of representing reality, subvert the official worldview of life and present us with a carnivalized reality, whether through magic or a dystopian future. The fantasy brings laughter, dystopia brings fear, but what would happen if a novel had both of these characteristics? In Bone Season (2016) we are introduced to a world in which clairvoyance is real and some humans have esoteric powers, however, all types of clairvoyance are prohibited and, in order for their practice to remain so, the government makes use of control of freedom. We are, therefore, facing what we call in this research a dystopian fantasy, a hybrid genre that merges traces of fantasy and dystopia, thus building what appears to be a hypermodern example of a novel of the serious-comic genre. The problem of dystopian fantasy stems from the clash between laughter that erodes the seriousness of the world by subverting it in different ways, through fantasy, and the fear that, on the contrary, seeks to solidify it through the violent maintenance of power, through dystopia. Furthermore, we recognize that the representations of hero, body and society of dystopian fantasy differ from those commonly found in fantasy and dystopia. To anchor this positioning, the present work proposes, based on the postulates of the Bakhtin Circle, about issues of discursive genres, hybrid discursive genres and carnivalization and Canclini, about reconversion, a dialogical analysis of dystopian fantasy as a genre that converts fantasy and dystopia in hypermodernity, based on the book Bone Season (2016), by English author Samantha Shannon. The research is inserted in the mixed, hybrid and undisciplinary area of applied linguistics and is also anchored in a theoretical framework of philosophy, literary and cultural studies based on the works of Han, Hall, Canclini, Bauman and Matangrano. Methodologically, it develops from a qualitative-interpretive perspective and uses the indicative paradigm proposed by the historian Carlo Ginzburg to obtain the data. It points to possible other representations of hero, body and society in dystopian fantasy.
