Jednostki — postawy — struktura społeczna (na przykładzie wybranych bohaterów dystopijnych powieści Margaret Atwood)
Individuals — attitudes — social structure (on the example of selected dystopian characters from Margaret Atwood’s novels)

Summary/Abstract: This article presents a sociological analysis of the literary dystopias of Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood: the MaddAddam trilogy and The Handmaid’s Tale and its 2020 sequel Testaments. Maria Anna Banaś regards as key issues and contexts those that clearly and unambiguously build Atwood’s image of the social world, and which Banaś reads through the prism of the sociology of literature. The basic question is, What is the structure of the social world in Atwood’s works? Banaś seeks answers by referring, among other ideas, to Robert K. Merton’s types of adaptation of individuals to the changing social structure.
