Аннотация

The paper presents a quantitative textual analysis of films of Dystopian genre. Paper uses “bag-ofwords” method of data science to modeling and representing texts of Dystopian films situating the results in different historical periods of Dystopia. Author takes Dystopia as sociological concept that reflects the societal anxieties and collective nightmare of mankind and employs it as a common anchor for all quantitative and qualitative interpretations of the data. Paper ends with raising concerns about the recent boom of Dystopian films and connects it with our current political and social situations where societal anxieties and collective nightmare is ever more prominent than before.
