Abstract
The study aims to demonstrate how the urban chronotope in dystopian literature serves as a mechanism for expressing exaggerated ideas about the existential and epistemological aspects of modern socio-political structures, utilizing interdisciplinary approaches that connect dystopia with sociology and artistic concepts regarding the future of societal development. The research highlights the significance of entropy as a central metaphor in dystopian narratives, illustrating the tension between intellectual stagnation and the renewal of thought, while analyzing the subjective experiences of time within urban settings in the works of notable authors, and exploring the implications of dystopian themes on societal control and individual potential. The article explores the concept of the literary chronotope, focusing on its poetic features as they manifest in modern novels, and addresses contemporary issues in literary criticism related to this phenomenon. It examines the theoretical foundations of chronotope forms, their impact on genre evolution, storyline development, artistic architecture, plot creation, composition based on the author's intent, and the ideological content of literary works, as well as how reality is perceived within the literary process.
