  • Casual and Hardcore Players in HBO's Westworld (2016): the Immoral and Violent Player
    Casual and Hardcore Players in HBO’s Westworld (2016): The Immoral and Violent Player MA Thesis Ellen Menger – 5689295 [email protected] Supervisor: Dr. René Glas Second reader: Dr. Jasper van Vught Utrecht University MA New Media & Digital Culture MCMV10009 - THE-Masterthesis/ MA NMDC May 8, 2017 Abstract This thesis approaches the HBO series Westworld (2016) through the lens of game studies and interprets the series as a commentary on the stereotype of casual and hardcore players and immoral violence in video games. By performing a textual analysis, this thesis explores how Westworld as a series makes use of the casual and hardcore player stereotype, looking at the way the series explores the construction of player categories and how it ties these to the dialogue about violence and immoral behaviour in video games. Keywords: Westworld, games, player types, Western, casual gamer, hardcore gamer, violence, ethics, morals SPOILER WARNING This thesis reveals certain plot twists that may spoil part of the storyline of the first season of HBO’s 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.

  • Subverting Or Reasserting? Westworld (2016-) As an Ambiguous Critical Allegory of Gender Struggles
    #24 SUBVERTING OR REASSERTING? WESTWORLD (2016-) AS AN AMBIGUOUS CRITICAL ALLEGORY OF GENDER STRUGGLES Miguel Sebastián-Martín Universidad de Salamanca Ilustración || Isela Leduc Artículo || Recibido: 19/07/2020 | Apto Comité Científico: 04/11/2020 | Publicado: 01/2021 DOI: 10.1344/452f.2021.24.9 [email protected] Licencia || Reconocimiento-No comercial-Sin obras derivadas 3.0 License 129 Resumen || Este artículo analiza las tres primeras temporadas de la serie de HBO Westworld (2016-2020), considerándolas una alegoría crítica de las relaciones de género. Se presta especial atención a la construcción autorreflexiva de sus mundos de ciencia ficción y a dos de los arcos narrativos de los personajes principales, las androides femeninas (o ginoides) Dolores y Maeve. Más específicamente, el ensayo consiste en un examen dialéctico de las ambigüedades narrativas de la serie, por lo que su argumento es doble. Por un lado, se argumenta que Westworld está clara y conscientemente construida como una alegoría crítica y que, como tal, sus mundos de ciencia ficción escenifican luchas sociales reales (principalmente, aquellas entre géneros) para narrar posteriormente su (intento) de derrocamiento. Por otro lado, en contra de esta interpretación crítico-alegórica, pero completándola, también se argumenta que Westworld no es una narrativa inequívocamente crítica y que, si vamos a examinar sus potenciales alegóricos, debemos considerar también cómo su realización puede ser obstaculizada y/o contradicha por ciertas ambigüedades narrativas. Palabras clave || Westworld | Ciencia ficción | Metaficción | Alegoría crítica | Género Abstract || This article analyses the first three seasons of HBO’s Westworld (2016-2020) by considering them a critical allegory of gender relations. In so doing, the text pays special attention to the self-reflexive construction of its SF worlds, and to two of the main characters’ arcs, the female androids (or gynoids) Dolores and Maeve.

  • Gina Rodriguez “Adult Elena”
    Gina Rodriguez “Adult Elena” Gina Rodriguez plays adult Elena, the current President of the United States in the Disney+ original series “Diary of a Future President.” Born and raised in Chicago, Rodriguez currently lives in Los Angeles and is a graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is best known for the title role on the series “Jane the Virgin,” for which she won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Series Musical or Comedy in 2015. Her voice can be heard as “Carmen Sandiego” in the Netflix animated series playing the title character and reviving the popular character which audiences fell in love with in the 1980s and 1990s. Gina Rodriguez’s profile has been rising steadily since her breakout performance as the titular character in “Filly Brown” at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012. Named the “Next Big Thing” and one of the “Top 35 Latinos Under 35” by The Hollywood Reporter, Rodriguez continues to be noticed by many due to her incredible acting ability, philanthropy, producing and directing. The Los Angeles Times has referred to her as “forthright and formidable, a festival ingénue who deserves to be discussed in the same breath as Elizabeth Olsen and Jennifer Lawrence.” She was recently named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world and awarded Variety’s Humanitarian Award. Rodriguez recently wrapped production on the independent film “Unititled Heist Thriller” starring opposite Evan Rachel Wood and Richard Jenkins.
