Resident Evil Series Zombies, Phallic Monsters, and Rocket Launchers: An Examination of Gender Representations and Simulations in the Resident Evil Series Christopher Alton A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Communication and Culture, York University, Toronto, Ontario May, 2020 © Chris Alton, 2020 ii Abstract Capcom’s Resident Evil series (1996-present) is the second longest running horror video game series, following Konami’s Castlevania (1986-present). The series has, from its beginning, offered a choice of gendered protagonists with associated unique narrative and gameplay experiences, to say nothing of the gendered nature of the series antagonists. In this dissertation, I examine how gender dynamics, norms, expectations, and subversions are depicted and represented across the games in the Resident Evil series. I use an approach which embraces presentation (the ways characters are depicted in audio/visual terms), narrative (what roles characters play in the stories), and gameplay aspects (what the player is tasked with in the games, and how they are expected to succeed) of the main games in the Resident Evil series. Using key texts on the ontology of video games, gender/sexuality in the horror genre, and intersectionality/international feminism, I examine the whole of the Resident Evil series, as well as the guides and making-of materials, spin-offs, offshoots, and contemporary reviews. How the choice of male versus female protagonist choice is delineated, paired with the ways in which characters, male, female, and otherwise, are portrayed in relation to one another is the larger focus of this dissertation. I have engaged in a close textual analysis of Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil 6, and Resident Evil VII: BioHazard. I also engage in light content analysis comparing the games discussed, examining changes to gameplay and presentation approach over time. The games are further contextualized by comparison to contemporaries in the survival horror genre which have either impacted or been impacted by Resident Evil. Moreover, as my examination encompasses over twenty years’ worth of games, both within and outside Capcom’s franchise, there is a larger discussion in play about the approach to gender across the history of the video game industry and video game studies. As a complex historiographical examination, there is no one conclusion, but the vacillation between empowerment and misogyny across time, games, and genres is highlighted through this dissertation. iii Dedicated to all of the people mentioned in the acknowledgements and those who weren’t. I couldn’t have done this without all of you, and it seems unfair to just dedicate this to only one person. iv Acknowledgements Thank you first and foremost to my committee, Jennifer Jenson, Ganaele Langlois, and John McCullough. They have guided me through this project during what turned out to be the most difficult years of my life. They have done so with compassion, wisdom, and understanding, and I cannot put into words how appreciative I am for all that they have done. Thank you also to Amethyst Barron. They have remained a constant source of support and encouragement, as well as a (mostly) willing ear for me to bounce ideas off. From little things like helping me find specific games to big things like keeping me going when I was discouraged, Amethyst has been there whenever I needed them. They have been there through strikes, illnesses, family emergencies, and more, and I could not have done this without them. Gratitude also to Steve Gennaro who has helped immensely with my growth as an educator during this process. He has been ever ready with an encouraging comment or help when I needed it and has made getting through this process so much easier. I would also like to thank so many of my peers and colleagues in the video game studies community. Sarah Stang, for all of the venting sessions we have had; Felan Parker, for his help both getting started with and moving through the process; Gerald Voorhees, for being encouraging and willing to listen, even at first when he barely knew me; Daniel Dacombe, for late night back-and-forths to keep us both on track for our respective degrees; and so many more. There are a few who get mentions at the end of this dissertation, and too many to list here, so even if they are not mentioned right now, I have endless gratitude for all of them. As well, I need to mention the online Resident Evil Twitter community, many of whose actual names I do not know. Wesker’s Report, BSAArklay, Jared from Avalanche reviews, Katastrophe (Capcom’s Resident Evil community manager), Shmuplations, and many more have all been willing to actively engage with me, help me out when looking for pieces of series errata, and debate aspects of series lore and merchandising during my research and writing. They have all been a huge help, and I am glad to have connected with them. Finally, there are too many people to be able to thank on one page, but even if your name is not mentioned here, know that I am still unspeakably grateful for your support, guidance, and (I must assume) good natured sarcasm throughout this process.

  • EARLY 1990S UNSPECIFIED: Takeru Tominaga Is Born
    EARLY 1990s UNSPECIFIED: Takeru Tominaga is born. He will go on to become a cameraman and be caught up in a biohazard outbreak on the island of Sonido de Tortuga in 2014. CHARACTER PROFILE: TAKERU TOMINAGA *Born: UK. Died: NA. Height: UK. Weight: UK. B-T: UK. Nationality: Japanese. Affiliation: None. Takeru Tominaga was an assistant director and camera operator working in the Japanese media industry. He was friendly, always courteous and polite to those around him, and tremendously upbeat about life, but he had a reputation for being a little clumsy which often incurred the wrath of his superiors. One example was when he had to book a bikini photo shoot with Yuki Mayu, one of Japan’s top gravure idols. When Takeru discovered the indoor studio was already booked, he organised an outdoor shoot without thinking about how cold the weather would be in the middle of winter. But ever the professional, Mayu got on with the job and Takeru was a massive fan of hers. As a younger man he was quite socially awkward and would take steps to always avoid conflict and keep away from confrontational situations. His eyesight was not the best and his distinguishing feature was his large glasses. Outside of work, he was a big fan of horror movies. In 2014, Takeru was hired as an assistant director to work on the fourth series of Idol Survival, a popular reality TV show where swimwear models competed in a series of survival games across a deserted island. That year marked the first time the series included international models and Yuki Mayu was entered as Japan’s top challenger.

  • Yūrei” W Japońskich Survival Horrorach : Analiza Wybranych Przykładów
    Dominika Staszenko Motyw „yūrei” w japońskich survival horrorach : analiza wybranych przykładów Replay. The Polish Journal of Game Studies 1, 29-38 2014 Dominika Staszenko Uniwersytet Łódzki Motyw yūrei w japońskich survival horrorach — analiza wybranych przykładów Wprowadzenie W japońskiej mitologii określenie yūrei odnosi się do duchów zmarłych, które z ja- kichkolwiek przyczyn powróciły na ziemię i szukają kontaktu z ludźmi [Kijewska, 2012]. Według tradycyjnych wierzeń najczęstszym powodem ich przybycia do świata doczesnego są silne związki uczuciowe z bliskimi oraz pragnienie wykonania nie- dokończonych zadań. Należy podkreślić, że chociaż zdarzają się opowieści o yūrei, w których powrót motywowany jest pozytywnymi odczuciami, takimi jak miłość czy troska, to znacznie większa część przekazów odnosi się do duchów kierujących się chęcią zemsty i zadośćuczynienia za wyrządzone krzywdy. Istoty, których jedynym celem pobytu na ziemi jest krwawy odwet, noszą nazwę onryō. Termin yūrei pierwot- nie odnosił się do wszystkich powracających duchów zmarłych, jednakże obecnie czę- ściej utożsamiany jest z postacią mściwej istoty, wymierzającej karę żyjącym. Z tego względu określenie yūrei i onryō stosuję wymiennie. Japończycy od wieków wierzą, że w świecie żywych mogą przebywać byty nadna- turalne. Takie przekonanie ma swoje źródło w systemach praktyk religijnych, takich jak buddyzm czy sintoizm. Wiara w wędrówkę dusz, opiekuńczą moc duchów zmar- łych przodków czy niemal nieograniczoną możliwość wpływania istot nadnatural- nych na egzystencję żyjących sprawia, że japońska mitologia staje się inspiracją nawet dla współczesnych tekstów kultury, ponieważ zawiera szereg uniwersalnych moty- wów, które doskonale łączą tradycję z nowoczesnością. 29 Czym jest survival horror? Wraz ze wzrostem popularności filmów grozy, opierających się na motywie pośmiert- nej zemsty, postać onryō zaczęła pojawiać się również w grach wideo z gatunku survi- val horror.

  • Page 22 Survival Horrality: Analysis of a Videogame Genre (1) Ewan
    Page 22 Survival Horrality: Analysis of a Videogame Genre (1) Ewan Kirkland Introduction The title of this article is drawn from Philip Brophy’s 1983 essay which coins the neologism ‘horrality’, a merging of horror, textuality, morality and hilarity. Like Brophy’s original did of 1980s horror cinema, this article examines characteristics of survival horror videogames, seeking to illustrate the relationship between ‘new’ (media) horror and ‘old’ (media) horror. Brophy’s term structures this investigation around key issues and aspects of survival horror videogames. Horror relates to generic parallels with similarly­labelled film and literature, including gothic fiction, American horror cinema and traditional Japanese culture. Textuality examines the aesthetic qualities of survival horror, including the games’ use of narrative, their visual design and structuring of virtual spaces. Morality explores the genre’s ideological characteristics, the nature of survival horror violence, the familial politics of these texts, and their reflection on issues of institutional and bodily control. Hilarity refers to moments of humour and self reflexivity, leading to consideration of survival horror’s preoccupation with issues of vision, identification, and the nature of the videogame medium. ‘Survival horror’ as a game category is unusual for its prominence within videogame scholarship. Indicative of the amorphous nature of popular genres, Aphra Kerr notes: ‘game genres are poorly defined and evolve as new technologies and fashions emerge’;(2) an observation which applied as much to videogame academia as to the videogame industry. Within studies of the medium, various game types are commonly listed. These might include the shoot­‘em­up, the racing game, the platform game, the God game, the real­time strategy game, and the puzzle game,(3) the simulation, role­playing, fighting/action, sports, traditional and ‘”edutainment”’ game,(4) or action, adventure, strategy and ‘process­orientated’ games.(5) These clusters of game types tend to be broad, commonsensical, and under­theorized.

  • “A Jill Sandwich”. Gender Representation in Zombie Videogames
    “A Jill Sandwich”. Gender Representation in Zombie Videogames. Esther MacCallum-Stewart From Resident​ Evil (Capcom 1996 - present) to The​ Walking Dead (Telltale Games 2012-4), ​ women are represented in zombie games in ways that appear to refigure them as heroines in their own right, a role that has traditionally been represented as atypical in gaming genres. These women are seen as pioneering – Jill Valentine is often described as one of the first playable female protagonists in videogaming, whilst Clementine and Ellie from The​ Walking Dead and The​ Last of Us (Naughty Dog 2013) are respectively, a young child and a teenager ​ ​ undergoing coming of age rites of passage in the wake of a zombie apocalypse. Accompanying them are male protagonists who either compliment these roles, or alternatively provide useful explorations of masculinity in games that move beyond gender stereotyping. At first, these characters appear to disrupt traditional readings of gender in the zombie genre, avoiding the stereotypical roles of final girl, macho hero or princess in need of rescuing. Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield and Ada Wong of the Resident​ Evil series are resilient characters who often have independent storyarcs within the series, and possess unique ludic attributes that make them viable choices for the player (for example, a greater amount of inventory). Their physical appearance - most usually dressed in combat attire - additionally means that they partially avoid critiques of pandering to the male gaze, a visual trope which dominates female representation in gaming. Ellie and Clementine introduce the player to non-sexualised portrayals of women who ultimately emerge as survivors and protagonists, and further episodes of each game jettison their male counterparts to focus on each of these young adult’s development.
