  • “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.

  • Abstract Introduction
    Race, colonial history and national identity: Resident Evil 5 as a Japanese game. Abstract Resident Evil 5 is a zombie game made by Capcom featuring a White American protagonist and set in Africa. This paper argues that approaching this as a Japanese game reveals aspects of a Japanese racial and colonial social imaginary that are missed if this context of production is ignored. In terms of race, the game presents hybrid racial subjectivities that can be related to Japanese perspectives of Blackness and Whiteness where these terms are two poles of difference and identity through which an essentialised Japanese identity is constructed in what Iwabuchi calls “strategic hybridism” (Iwabuchi, 2002). In terms of colonialism, the game echoes structures of Japanese colonialism through which Japanese colonialism is obliquely memorialised and a “normal” Japanese global subjectivity can be performed. Introduction Resident Evil 5 (RE5), released in 2009, is the fifth instalment in Capcom’s zombie franchise, a series of games in which a set of recurring characters—Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine and others—repeatedly save the world from zombie hordes set in motion by the pharmaceutical company, the Umbrella Corporation. The franchise has been very significant in digital game culture, both in terms of its popularity—the franchise has sold over 40 million copies worldwide (Capcom IR, 2015)—and its development of formal conventions of the survival horror and action horror game genres. At the start of this game we learn that the Umbrella Corporation has been closed down for creating biological weapons. The other global pharmaceutical companies have agreed to fund a global anti-terrorism unit—the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA)—tasked with preventing such illegal biological weapons from being produced or distributed, and it is as part of this unit that Chris has come to Africa, where signs of suspicious zombie-like activity have been reported.

  • Representations of Africa in Resident Evil 5
    Return to Darkness: Representations of Africa in Resident Evil 5 Hanli Geyser University of the Witwatersrand 1 Jan Smuts Ave Braamfontein Johannesburg South Africa 2000 +27 (11) 717 4687 [email protected] Pippa Tshabalala Independent Scholar 37 Jukskei Drive Riverclub Johannesburg South Africa 2149 +27 (83) 326 7887 ABSTRACT Darkest Africa, the imagining of colonial fantasy, in many ways still lives on. Popular cultural representations of Africa often draw from the rich imagery of the un-charted, un-knowable ‗other‘ that Africa represents. When Capcom made the decision to set the latest instalment of its Resident Evil series in an imagined African country, it was merely looking for a new, unexplored setting, and they were therefore surprised at the controversy that surrounded its release. The 2009 game Resident Evil 5 was accused of racially stereotyping the black zombies and the white protagonist. These allegations have largely been put to rest, as this was never the intention of Capcom in developing the game or selecting the setting. However, the underlying questions remain: How is Africa represented in the game? How does the figure of the zombie resonate within that representation? And why does this matter? Keywords Post-Colonial, Zombie, Africa, Game, Resident Evil 5 ―The earth seemed unearthly. We are accustomed to look upon the shackled form of a conquered monster, but there – there you could look at a thing monstrous and free. It was as unearthly as the men were... No they were not inhuman. Well, you know that was the worst of it – this suspicion of their not being inhuman.‖ Joseph Conrad – Heart of Darkness Darkest Africa, the imagining of colonial fantasy, in many ways still lives on.

  • Use of Client-Centered Virtual Reality in Rehabilitation After Stroke
    https://doi.org/10.1590/0004-282X20190103 ARTICLE Use of client-centered virtual reality in rehabilitation after stroke: a feasibility study Uso da realidade virtual centrada no cliente na reabilitação após acidente vascular encefálico: um estudo de viabilidade Alberto Luiz ARAMAKI1,5, Rosana Ferreira SAMPAIO2, Alessandra CAVALCANTI3,4, Fabiana Caetano Martins Silva e DUTRA1,3,5 ABSTRACT Patient-centered virtual reality (VR) programs could assist in the functional recovery of people after a stroke. Objectives: To analyze the feasibility of a rehabilitation protocol using client-centered VR and to evaluate changes in occupational performance and social participation. Methods: This was a mixed methods study. Ten subacute and chronic stroke patients participated in the rehabilitation program using games in non-immersive VR for 40 minutes/day, three days/week, for 12 weeks. Sociodemographic information was collected and the outcome variables included were the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and the Participation Scale. A field diary was used to record the frequency of attendance and adherence of participants and an interview was conducted at the end of program. Results: There were significant and clinically-relevant statistical improvements in the COPM performance score (p < 0.001; CI = 1.29 - 4.858) and in the COPM satisfaction score (p < 0.001; CI = 1.37 - 5.124), with a difference greater than 4.28 points for performance and 4.58 points for satisfaction. The change in the scores for participation was statistically significant (p = 0.046), but there was no clinical improvement (dcohen = -0.596, CI = -1.862 - 0.671). The majority of participants reported more than 75% consecutive attendance of sessions and there was 100% adherence to the program.

    Lara Croft and Jill Valentine Understanding the Representation of Female Protago- nists in Triple-A Video Games in the #MeToo Era Antonio Rodrigues da Silva Neto BACHELOR’S THESIS November 2020 Degree Programme in Media and Arts Interactive Media ABSTRACT Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in Media and Arts Interactive Media RODRIGUES DA SILVA NETO, ANTONIO: Lara Croft and Jill Valentine Understanding the Representation of Female Protagonists in Triple-A Video Games in the #MeToo Era Bachelor's thesis 79 pages, appendices 3 pages November 2020 Recent years have seen a change in female representation in media as move- ments like #MeToo brought the issues of sexual harassment and abuse to the forefront of public discussion. The objective of this thesis was to analyze and understand changes made to the portrayal of two female protagonists from long running video game series, Lara Croft from Tomb Raider and Jill Valentine from Resident Evil, in response to a more gender-aware audience. Their portrayals in the games were evaluated through feminist and queer lenses based on Laura Mulvey’s male gaze theory, Carol Clover’s Final Girl trope and Jack Halberstam’s queer discussion of the two concepts. A secondary objective of the thesis was to understand how those classic works of feminist film theory could be translated to video game analysis in 2020. It was found that through their many appearances, both characters had their de- signs changed more than once and both had positive and negative aspects, par- ticularly when it came to catering to the male gaze and over-sexualized character designs.
