The Houses of Westeros Will Continue to Battle for the Iron Throne on HBO The Houses of Westeros will Continue to Battle for the Iron Throne on HBO Miami, March 22, 2012 - Five kings vie for a single throne in the all-new season of the Golden Globe® and two-time Emmy® award-winning HBO drama series, Game of Thrones. Based on the bestselling fantasy books by George R.R. Marin, the returning mega-production chronicles the epic and deadly struggle for power among several families that has overtaken the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. HBO Latin America will premiere the second season simultaneously with the United States on April 1st. During each of the ten hour-long episodes of the show’s second season, battles will continue among the Houses in the wake of King Robert and Ned Stark’s deaths, as well as Daenerys Targaryen’ newly hatched dragon eggs. With winter fast approaching, the coveted Iron Throne in King’s Landing is occupied by the cruel young Joffrey, who is counseled by his conniving mother Cersei and his uncle, Tyrion, who has been appointed Hand of The King. But the Lannisters’ hold on the Throne is under attack on many fronts.  There is Robb Stark, son of slain Lord of Winterfell Ned Stark, who seeks autonomy in the North and has taken Cersei’s brother, Jaime, prisoner in battle; Daenerys Targaryen, looking to shore up her depleted power in the East through three newborn dragons; Stannis Baratheon, brother of the late King Robert, who rejects Joffrey’s legitimacy and aligns with a powerful priestess to raise a naval attack; and Stannis’ brother Renly, who has maintained his own claim since fleeing King’s Landing.  In the meantime, a new leader is rising among the wildlings outside the Wall, adding new perils for Jon Snow and the order of the Night’s Watch. Among tensions and treaties, animosity and alliances, the fate of Westeros grows more unsure. Season two of Game of Thrones promises to be a thrilling journey through a riveting, unforgettable fictional landscape. The game of thrones, ever immune to fair play, remains defined by struggle, power and deceit. With an ominous presence in the skies, many have staked their claim to the throne – but only one will rule! New cast members include Stephen Dillane (Emmy® nominated for HBO’s John Adams) as Stannis Baratheon; Carice van Houten (Valkyrie) as Melisandre, a powerful priestess and Stannis’ muse; and Liam Cunningham (Strike Back) as Davos Seaworth, a knighted Stannis ally and former smuggler. Other cast members joining the second season include: Gwendoline Christie (Brienne), Robert Pugh (Craster), Patrick Malahide (Balon Greyjoy), Gemma Whelan (Yara Greyjoy), Kerr Logan (Matthos Seaworth), Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell) and Rose Lesie (Ygritte). Returning cast members include Golden Globe® and Emmy® winner Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), Aidan Gillen (Littlefinger), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Richard Madden (Robb Stark), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran Stark), Jack Gleeson (Joffrey Baratheon), Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister), Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy), Jerome Flynn (Bronn), Rory McCann (Sandor “Hound” Clegane), Conleth Hill (Varys), Iain Glenn (Jorah Mormont), Ron Donachie (Ser Rodrik Cassel), Gethin Anthony (Renly Baratheon), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Mark Stanley (Grenn), Sibel Kekilli (Shae), Donald Sumpter (Maester Luwin) and Joe Dempsie (Gendry).

  • Hbo Premieres the Third Season of Game of Thrones
    HBO PREMIERES THE THIRD SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES The new season will premiere simultaneously with the United States on March 31st Miami, FL, March 18, 2013 – The battle for the Iron Throne among the families who rule the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros continues in the third season of the HBO original series, Game of Thrones. Winner of two Emmys® 2011 and six Golden Globes® 2012, the series is based on the famous fantasy books “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R.R. Martin. HBO Latin America will premiere the third season simultaneously with the United States on March 31st. Many of the events that occurred in the first two seasons will culminate violently, with several of the main characters confronting their destinies. But new challengers for the Iron Throne rise from the most unexpected places. Characters old and new must navigate the demands of family, honor, ambition, love and – above all – survival, as the Westeros civil war rages into autumn. The Lannisters hold absolute dominion over King’s Landing after repelling Stannis Baratheon’s forces, yet Robb Stark –King of the North– still controls much of the South, having yet to lose a battle. In the Far North, Mance Rayder (new character portrayed by Ciaran Hinds) has united the wildlings into the largest army Westeros has ever seen. Only the Night’s Watch stands between him and the Seven Kingdoms. Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen – reunited with her three growing dragons – ventures into Slaver’s Bay in search of ships to take her home and allies to conquer it.

Your head chairs for this committee will be Ravena Rasalingam and Bharvjit Parmar. This committee will be based on the book series, “A Song of Ice and Fire” and the HBO show, “Game of Thrones”. Disclaimer: Albert Campbell nor the chairs of this committee claim the proceeding as our original content; everything was invented by George R. R. Martin in his fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. In this committee, the topics discussed will include the use of magic, sorcery, and the aid of supernatural creatures during wartime, the crisis involving the White Walkers, and the current economic state of Westeros.

History: The Dawn Age (Prehistory- 1000) Westeros was initially inhabited by the Children of the Forest (a mysterious race of human-like creatures), giants and other mystical beings. The First men invaded Westeros in 1200 bringing weapons and bronze. The First men had larger numbers, were stronger, bigger, and more technologically advanced than the Children of the Forest and eventually established hundreds of small kingdoms throughout Westeros.

  • Editor's Six Core Questions Game of Thrones
    Editor’s Six Core Questions Game of Thrones - Season 2 What’s the Global Genre? For the Season: External: Society > Political Status > Admiration What is the Global Life Value? In this season we see power and impotence at higher stakes than ever. Whoever wins this battle will keep their power, and keep their head. Life and death are naturally in every beat, and on the scale of Action’s life and death we see everything from life to death to damnation. What are the objects of desire? Starks: To have justice restored and power shifted to the rightful heir Lannisters: To have power and get the throne Daenerys: To have power and get the throne What’s the controlling idea/theme? For the season: War lacks meaning and revolution fails when leaders are obsessed with the game of thrones and fail to address the real enemy (and using dishonourable methods) For the Lannisters: We gain power when we prove our ruthlessness, ingenuity and authority What are the Obligatory scenes of the Global Genre (Society) ● Inciting Attack - Robb Stark has numerous victories against Lanisters off-screen. He is ​ a threat to the Lannisters ● Protagonists deny responsibility to respond - The Lannisters are the common ​ enemy, but Renly, Stannis, Rob Stark, and the Greyjoys cannot unite under one banner ● Forced to respond, the protagonists lash out according to their positions on the power hierarchy - Stannis kills his brother through magic, Grayjoys raid the North, Robb ​ Stark continues to win and keeps Jamie Lanister prisoner. ● Each Character learns what their antagonist’s object of desire is: ○ Rob wants to be acknowledged as King of the North and left alone ○ Stannis and Renly want to be King ○ Cersei, Tywin, and Tyrion want Joffrey to stay king ○ The warlocks want the dragons to get stronger magic ● Protagonists’ initial strategy to outmaneuver antagonists fails: Attempts to trade ​ Jamie for the Stark girls fail because of his escape attempt causing friction between Catelyn and Karstarks.

It was originally written as a series of novels by the American author George R. R. Martin in 1996 and adapted to the TV screen by HBO in 2011. The series has completed its sixth season and is scheduled to go on for a total of eight seasons. Since its first broadcast in 2011, A Game of Thrones has attracted millions of viewers on a global scale and has received a total of 38 Emmy Awards. In A Game of Thrones, gender is one of the central themes, as power relations generally evolve around different gender roles. This study analyses masculinity in A Game of Thrones and the different types of masculinities which are identified through various male and female characters. This classification places all of the characters in two distinct gender categories. It also reveals the impact of these diverse forms of masculinities on the lives of the main characters and the general storyline of the production. Thus, the paper deconstructs the constructed masculinities in A Game of Thrones by exposing their representation through the main characters.
