APOCALIPTIC AS A HEGEMONIC STRATEGY TO NORMALIZE THE LGBTQ+ IN THE LAST OF US SHOW 2023
This study examines how the apocalyptic genre in The Last of Us
(2023) series is employed as a hegemonic tool to legitimize LGBTQ+
identities. In a world ravaged by a global epidemic, traditional social
structures give way to literature systems that embrace a wider range of non-
normative sexual identities. Using Antonio Gramsci's theory of hegemony and
literary structuralism, this study uses a qualitative descriptive approach to
analyze how LGBTQ+ characters in apocalyptic movies communicate social
and ideological ideas. The results demonstrate that the post-apocalyptic
world is not just a story setting but also a deliberate means of changing
societal attitudes, making LGBTQ+ inclusion a component of the new social
order. This acceptance, however, might be a conscious narrative strategy
intended to normalize LGBTQ+ identities during times of social upheaval
rather than a true indication of societal advancement. Through crisis-based
narrative, the media helps to reshape social values, as these insights show.
