Community of anger and care: Imaginaries of girlhood in The Hunger Games and The Wilds in the context of Carol Gilligan’s research

Summary/Abstract: Within feminist theory, the concept of ethics of care introduced by Carol Gilligan is considered to be an original and interesting model for describing patterns in which empathy expresses and mani- fests itself in the process of constituting young female subjectivity. Using it as an analytical tool, the author examines selected narrative models in works of popular culture addressed primarily to young audiences. Care and anger are treated as emotions that have a huge impact on the decisions made by the protagonists of the TV series The Wilds and the book and film series The Hunger Games, who are motivated by concerns for the safety of loved ones and the demand for a specific idea of justice. Narrative strategies built in this way allow the audience to perceive teenage protagonists in experi- encing various forms of oppression as figures of empowered and agency, which in turn increases the spectrum of the attitudes of independent girl heroines presented within the popular culture.
