AB Even though innovation inside literary fiction has been widely studied, there is scarce information and research carried out about the new subgenres that appear as a product of the hybridization of traditional genres. This undergraduate dissertation tries to fill that empty space by analyzing a potential new subgenre, dystopian fantasy. This is achieved by constructing a framework consisting of the most relevant elements for both fantasy and dystopian fiction and using it to analyze Brandon Sanderson’s The Final Empire. The selection of this specific novel derives from its massive success and from the influence it has had in other media despite its contemporaneity. The analysis of this novel provides tangible examples, which in turn solidify the theoretical framework and make it more reliable. The consolidation of this framework promotes the further exploration and analysis of other comparable stories, as a means to relabel them as necessary.
