  • Humanity and Heroism in Blade Runner 2049 Ridley
    Through Galatea’s Eyes: Humanity and Heroism in Blade Runner 2049 Ridley Scott’s 1982 Blade Runner depicts a futuristic world, where sophisticated androids called replicants, following a replicant rebellion, are being tracked down and “retired” by officers known as “blade runners.” The film raises questions about what it means to be human and memories as social conditioning. In the sequel, Blade Runner 2049, director Denis Villeneuve continues to probe similar questions, including what gives humans inalienable worth and at what point post-humans participate in this worth. 2049 follows the story of a blade runner named K, who is among the model of replicants designed to be more obedient. Various clues cause K to suspect he may have been born naturally as opposed to manufactured. Themes from the Pinocchio story are interwoven in K’s quest to discover if he is, in fact, a “real boy.” At its core Pinocchio is a Pygmalion story from the creature’s point of view. It is apt then that most of 2049 revolves around replicants, with humans as the supporting characters. By reading K through multiple mythological figures, including Pygmalion, Telemachus, and Oedipus, this paper will examine three hallmarks of humanity suggested by Villeneuve’s film: natural birth, memory, and self-sacrifice. These three qualities mark the stages of a human life but particularly a mythological hero’s life. Ultimately, only one of these can truly be said to apply to K, but it will be sufficient for rendering him a “real boy” nonetheless. Although Pinocchio stories are told from the creatures’ point of view, they are still based on what human authors project onto the creature.

  • The Infinite and the Intimate: Exploring AI Narratives and the Centrality of the Couple-Form
    The Infinite and the Intimate: Exploring AI Narratives and the Centrality of the Couple-Form by Rachel Narvey A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Department of English and Film Studies University of Alberta © Rachel Narvey, 2020 Abstract This thesis explores how the couple form is represented in four filmic objects: Her (2013), Bladerunner 2049 (2017), Ex Machina (2015), and “Be Right Back,” an episode of the TV series Black Mirror. I will argue that each of these films demonstrate that the couple fixates on the discreteness between the self and an ecological/ontological other. Further, the form is maintained through the repetitive pursuit of impossible closure, a teleology for teleology’s sake that reinscribes the couple’s ties to reproductive futurity. I will read the copy as motif within these objects, using it to elaborate on this pursuit of closure, showing that exchanges of coupled desire are dictated by their coherence or incoherence with a presupposed individual fantasy. I will argue that the copy in these films demonstrates a different approach to temporality and desire, one that emphasizes the convergence of multiple experiences and perceptions to produce an effect that is momentary and contingent, instead of presupposed. Exploring Lee Edelman’s figure of the sinthomosexual and its differing relationship to the copy, I will describe how Her and “Be Right Back” feature an alternate relationship to the sinthome that holds what is interpreted as meaning by the individual and what exists outside that meaning in tandem, and therefore facilitates the emergence of a new intimacy outside the hegemonic couple form.

Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Catching 'tears in the rain': Blade Runner and the archiving of memory and identity Abstract Blade Runner presents the ultimate archival dilemma: to preserve or "retire" (dispose of) a sentient record. Beneath the Hollywood love story lays a dystopian view of the future wherein the line between human and humanoid is blurred through the existence of biorobotic androids known as replicants. Beyond this, new gadgets, systems and technologies dazzle in futuristic, though familiar, landscapes. And what do replicants, being human, EMP blackouts and origami have to do with archives? Answers reside in their present and possible relation to aspects of the world of the archivist in the modern era, as evidenced through technological innovation, the limitations and inherent fragility of electronic records, consideration of what is worth saving, and issues of identity.
