Westworld Opens on Foxtel
Media Release: Friday, August 12, 2016 Westworld opens on Visit the ultimate resort from 12pm AEDST Monday, October 3 - same time as the US - only on showcase Westworld, HBO’s highly anticipated reality bending drama, starring Anthony Hopkins, Rachel Evan Wood and James Marsden will arrive on Foxtel on Monday October 3 at 12pm AEDST, same time as the US, with a prime time encore at 8.30pm, only on showcase. Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, Westworld, based on the 1973 film, is a dark odyssey that looks at the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin and explores a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged. The 10 episode season of Westworld is an ambitious and highly imaginative drama that elevates the concept of adventure and thrill-seeking to a new, ultimately dangerous level. In the futuristic fantasy park known as Westworld, a group of android “hosts” deviate from their programmers’ carefully planned scripts in a disturbing pattern of aberrant behaviour. Westworld’s cast is led by Anthony Hopkins (Noah, Oscar® winner for The Silence of the Lambs) as Dr. Robert Ford, the founder of Westworld, who has an uncompromising vision for the park and its evolution; Ed Harris (Snowpiercer, Golden Globe winner for HBO’s Game Change; Oscar® nominee for Pollock and Apollo 13) as The Man in Black, the distillation of pure villainy into one man; Evan Rachel Wood (HBO’s Mildred Pierce and True Blood) as Dolores Abernathy, a provincial rancher’s daughter who starts to discover her idyllic existence is an elaborately constructed lie; James Marsden (The D Train, the X-Men films) as Teddy Flood, a new arrival with a close and recurring bond with Dolores; Thandie Newton (Half of a Yellow Sun, Mission: Impossible II) as Maeve Millay, a madam with a knack for survival; and Jeffrey Wright (The Hunger Games films; HBO’s Confirmation and Boardwalk Empire) as Bernard Lowe, the brilliant and quixotic head of Westworld’s programming division. -

The Emancipatory Politics of Westworld (2016-)
UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA GRADUATE COLLEGE QUESTIONING THE NATURE OF REALITY: THE EMANCIPATORY POLITICS OF WESTWORLD (2016-) A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By MORGAN JONES Norman, Oklahoma 2021 QUESTIONING THE NATURE OF REALITY: THE EMANCIPATORY POLITICS OF WESTWORLD (2016-) A THESIS APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY BY THE COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF Dr. Laurel Smith, Chair Dr. Alison Fields Dr. Darren Purcell © Copyright by MORGAN JONES 2021 All Rights Reserved iv Acknowledgements I’d like to extend thanks to my thesis advisor, Dr. Laurel Smith, for letting me take this short final paper from Gender & Environment and turn it into a fully-fledged Master’s thesis. She has always taken this project seriously, even when I doubted its value (as I often did). Her extensive notes have been invaluable in crafting this document into what it is today. I would also like to thank Dr. Darren Purcell and Dr. Alison Fields who both serve on my advisory committee. The classes I have taken with them helped my conceptualization of what this thesis could be. I hope that their influence is visible in this paper. Another extension of gratitude goes to Dr. Harriet Hawkins for introducing me to geographical aesthetics, and for getting coffee with me in London when her work was the grounding force in my undergraduate capstone. I think it is absolutely necessary to thank my roommate, Holden Dempsey, and my dog, Olive, for being a stellar support system when I was at my most fragile. -
A Consciência De Si Na Série Televisiva Westworld Imagined Existences
Existências imaginadas: a consciência de si na série televisiva Westworld Imagined Existences: The Self-Awareness in the Television Series Westworld Suzinara Strassburger Marques1 Rosane Maria Cardoso2 DOI: 10.19177/memorare.v8e1202129-46 Resumo: No intuito de compreender como se desenvolve o processo de percepção de consciência de si durante os episódios das três temporadas da série televisiva Westworld, este trabalho analisa a constituição das personagens selecionadas, Homem de Preto, Dolores AbernatHy, Maeve Millay e Bernard Lowe, além de problematizar os modos de manipulação das narrativas que as constituem. A partir da análise, percebe-se que o processo de reconHecimento da consciência dos androides representados na série é muito semelhante ao processo desenvolvido pelos humanos, com base na comparação entre os discursos das protagonistas com pesquisas científicas, literárias e de caráter filosófico. Porém, não é possível, até este momento, definir se os androides realmente serão capazes de atingir esse nível de independência fora da ficção. Ressalta-se, ainda, a importância de discutir a contribuição das produções cinematográficas para a reflexão acerca da condição Humana na contemporaneidade tecnológica. Palavras-chave: Westworld. Consciência de si. Modos de narrativa. Abstract: In order to understand How the process of self-awareness perception develops during the television series Westworld tHree seasons’ episodes, tHis work analyzes tHe constitution of tHe selected cHaracters, Man in Black, Dolores Abernathy, Maeve Millay and Bernard Lowe, in addition to problematize the narrative modes of manipulation that constitute them.

Delivered at PCA/ACA Conference, Washington D.C. Science
Delivered at PCA/ACA Conference, Washington D.C. Science & Popular Culture Area Panel: From Game of Thrones to Westworld, 19 April 2019 © Kingsley Marshall, 2019 – [email protected] This presentation has been developed from Marshall, Kingsley. ‘Music as a Source of Narrative Information in HBO’s Westworld’. In Goody, Alex and Mackay, Antonia (Eds), 2019. Reading Westworld. London: Palgrave Macmillan. https://www.palgrave.com/us/book/9783030145149#aboutAuthors Presentation Title: THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS HAVE VIOLENT ENDS: REPRESENTING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HBO’S WESTWORLD Accompanying visual supercut, played part of presentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWIoT_jeZpE&feature=youtu.be Script I’d begin with some words from Jonah Nolan, creator of HBO’s Westworld. “[People have] started to think of AI only as a question of science fiction, and the reality is these things are happening very quickly. I believe we’re going to start grappling with some of these questions far earlier than we anticipated.” Jonathan Nolan (Westworld Co- Creator, 2016) These questions have been grappled by a number of news stories this week. The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that DeepMind has become the second Alphabet company to disband an AI ethics panel, commentary from the UK considers the ethics of self driving cars, and CBS have commented on an academic studio which identifies bias in AI systems by a workforce dominated by white men. I’ll return to some of these issues at the end of this presentation. The theme park location of HBO’s Westworld (2016-), shares some traits of Michael Crichton’s 1973 feature film of the same name.
