  • Beyond Westworld

    Beyond Westworld

    “We Don’t Know Exactly How They Work”: Making Sense of Technophobia in 1973 Westworld, Futureworld, and Beyond Westworld Stefano Bigliardi Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane - Morocco Abstract This article scrutinizes Michael Crichton’s movie Westworld (1973), its sequel Futureworld (1976), and the spin-off series Beyond Westworld (1980), as well as the critical literature that deals with them. I examine whether Crichton’s movie, its sequel, and the 1980s series contain and convey a consistent technophobic message according to the definition of “technophobia” advanced in Daniel Dinello’s 2005 monograph. I advance a proposal to develop further the concept of technophobia in order to offer a more satisfactory and unified interpretation of the narratives at stake. I connect technophobia and what I call de-theologized, epistemic hubris: the conclusion is that fearing technology is philosophically meaningful if one realizes that the limitations of technology are the consequence of its creation and usage on behalf of epistemically limited humanity (or artificial minds). Keywords: Westworld, Futureworld, Beyond Westworld, Michael Crichton, androids, technology, technophobia, Daniel Dinello, hubris. 1. Introduction The 2016 and 2018 HBO series Westworld by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy has spawned renewed interest in the 1973 movie with the same title by Michael Crichton (1942-2008), its 1976 sequel Futureworld by Richard T. Heffron (1930-2007), and the short-lived 1980 MGM TV series Beyond Westworld. The movies and the series deal with androids used for recreational purposes and raise questions about technology and its risks. I aim at an as-yet unattempted comparative analysis taking the narratives at stake as technophobic tales: each one conveys a feeling of threat and fear related to technological beings and environments.

    WIF SCIENCE FICTION BIBLIOGRAPHY Compiled by Annabelle Dolidon (Portland State University), Kristi Karathanassis and Andrea King (Huron University College)

    WIF SCIENCE FICTION BIBLIOGRAPHY Compiled by Annabelle Dolidon (Portland State University), Kristi Karathanassis and Andrea King (Huron University College) INTRODUCTION In a recent interview for the French newspaper Libération, Roland Lehoucq, president of Les Utopiales (a yearly international SF festival in Nantes) stated that “La SF ne cherche pas à prédire le futur, c’est la question qui importe” (interview with Frédéric Roussel, 19 octobre 2015). Indeed, with plots revolving around space travel, aliens or cyborgs, science fiction (or SF) explores and interrogates issues of borders and colonization, the Other, and the human body. By imagining what will become of us in hundreds or thousands of years, science fiction also debunks present trends in globalization, ethical applications of technology, and social justice. For this reason, science fiction narratives offer a large array of teaching material, although one must be aware of its linguistic challenges for learners of French (see below for more on this subject). In this introduction, we give a very brief history of the genre, focusing on the main subgenres of science fiction and women’s contribution to them. We also offer several suggestions regarding how to teach SF in the classroom – there are additional suggestions for each fictional text referenced in the annotated bibliography. Readers interested in exploring SF further can consult the annotated bibliography, which provides detailed suggestions for further reading. A Brief History of French SF It is difficult to trace the exact contours and origins of science fiction as a genre. If utopia is a subgenre of science fiction, then we can say that the Renaissance marks the birth of science fiction with the publication of Thomas More’s canonical British text Utopia (1516), as well as Cyrano de Bergerac’s Histoire comique des États et Empires de la Lune (circa 1650).

    Television Sharknados and Twitter Storms

    Television Sharknados and Twitter Storms: Cult Film Fan Practices in the Age of Social Media Branding Stephen William Hay A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the regulations for the degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Abstract This thesis examines the Syfy channel’s broadcast of the television movie Sharknado and the large number of tweets that were sent about it. Sharknado’s audience engaged in cult film viewing practices that can be understood using paracinema theory. Paracinema engagement with cult films has traditionally taken place in midnight screenings in independent movie theatres and private homes. Syfy’s audience was able to engage in paracinematic activity that included making jokes about Sharknado’s low quality of production and interacting with others who were doing the same through the affordances of Twitter. In an age where branding has become increasingly important, Syfy clearly benefited from all the fan activity around its programming. Critical branding theory argues that the value generated by a business’s brand comes from the labour of consumers. Brand management is mostly about encouraging and managing consumer labour. The online shift of fan practices has created new opportunities for brand managers to subsume the activities of consumers. Cult film audience practices often have an emphasis on creatively and collectively engaging in rituals and activities around a text. These are the precise qualities that brands require from their consumers. Sharknado was produced and marketed by Syfy to invoke the cult film subculture as part of Syfy’s branding strategy.
