My project is about exploring how the fictional wars in the Hunger Games trilogy reflect and relate to the real wars in the current world, and what insights and lessons can be drawn from them. I want to use digital humanities techniques to analyze and visualize the similarities and differences between the wars in the Hunger Games trilogy and the current world events, and to create an engaging and interactive digital story that showcases my findings and arguments. I also want to demonstrate my understanding and application of digital humanities techniques, to critically examine the social and political implications of war, and to creatively express my perspective and voice through digital storytelling.
Some of the concepts and connections that my project addresses are dystopia and utopia, violence and peace, justice and injustice, and resistance and conformity. I want to explore how the Hunger Games trilogy and the current world events depict dystopian and utopian visions of society, and what are the causes and consequences of such visions. I also want to explore how the Hunger Games trilogy and the current world events portray violence and peace, and what are the effects and challenges of such portrayals. Furthermore, I want to explore how the Hunger Games trilogy and the current world events represent justice and injustice, and what are the values and dilemmas of such representations. Moreover, I want to explore how the Hunger Games trilogy and the current world events illustrate resistance and conformity, and what are the motivations and risks of such actions.
The main techniques and tools that I will use for my project are digital storytelling using Twine and a digital timeline. I will use digital storytelling to create an interactive and nonlinear story that showcases my project and invites the audience to explore and participate in it. I use Twine, which is a digital storytelling tool that allows me to create interactive and nonlinear stories. I will also use a digital timeline to show the historical context and progression of the wars in the Hunger Games trilogy and the current world events. I will use Visme or Canva, which are online tools that allow me to create a digital timeline with text, images, multimedia, and hyperlinks. I integrate my digital timeline with my Twine story using the image or HTML macro. The future developments that my project could do and how are expanding the scope and depth of my analysis and visualization by including more sources and data from the Hunger Games trilogy and the current world events, such as books, articles, tweets, images, videos, etc. I could also incorporate other digital humanities techniques, such as text analysis, sentiment analysis, network analysis, geospatial analysis, etc. to enrich and enhance my project. I could also add more features and functionalities to my digital story, such as sound, music, animation, branching, choices, etc. to make it more immersive and interactive.
Note. AI software Copilot was used in order to clarify and narrow down ideas for the use of the final project.
