CCSA Signature Summer Course
Step into the gripping world of British dystopian literature, where exaggerated tales of suffering, injustice, and disaster reveal hard truths about society. Through novels like V for Vendetta, Children of Men, and Never Let Me Go, we’ll tackle pressing topics such as surveillance, scientific ethics, and cultural anxiety surrounding immigration. But it won’t just be reading—we’ll explore the real-life locations from these stories, visiting iconic landmarks like the Tower of London, Ludgate Circus, and St. Paul’s Cathedral.
By connecting these settings with their historical backgrounds, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the social movements that shaped the literature. Plus, we’ll dive into London’s contemporary art scene to see how modern artists depict dystopian futures and reflect on today’s cultural challenges. This immersive experience promises to be both intellectually stimulating and creatively inspiring.
