  • Video Games and the Mobilization of Anxiety and Desire
    PLAYING THE CRISIS: VIDEO GAMES AND THE MOBILIZATION OF ANXIETY AND DESIRE BY ROBERT MEJIA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Kent A. Ono, Chair Professor John Nerone Professor Clifford Christians Professor Robert A. Brookey, Northern Illinois University ABSTRACT This is a critical cultural and political economic analysis of the video game as an engine of global anxiety and desire. Attempting to move beyond conventional studies of the video game as a thing-in-itself, relatively self-contained as a textual, ludic, or even technological (in the narrow sense of the word) phenomenon, I propose that gaming has come to operate as an epistemological imperative that extends beyond the site of gaming in itself. Play and pleasure have come to affect sites of culture and the structural formation of various populations beyond those conceived of as belonging to conventional gaming populations: the workplace, consumer experiences, education, warfare, and even the practice of politics itself, amongst other domains. Indeed, the central claim of this dissertation is that the video game operates with the same political and cultural gravity as that ascribed to the prison by Michel Foucault. That is, just as the prison operated as the discursive site wherein the disciplinary imaginary was honed, so too does digital play operate as that discursive site wherein the ludic imperative has emerged. To make this claim, I have had to move beyond the conventional theoretical frameworks utilized in the analysis of video games.

  • “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.

From its inception as a series of experiences in Japan to its completion in written form, I have been indebted to a great many people. First and foremost, I wish to thank my committee members: Christine Yano, Lonny Carlile, and Yuma Totani. All three were mentors to me in my coursework at the University of Hawaiʻi, and provided invaluable feedback and support throughout the writing process. Within the Asian Studies department, I am also grateful for the advice of Cathryn H. Clayton and Young-a Park. From my cohort, I cannot thank Clara Hur and Layne Higgenbotham enough for their friendship, and lending me a sympathetic ear from time to time. From a former life, I also wish to thank Kenneth Pinyopusarerk and John Crow. Without their patient mentorship, I would not be the writer—or the translator—that I am today. Likewise, I would never have come this far without my family: Carol-Lynne Moore, Kaoru Yamamoto, and Kiyomi Moore.

  • 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.

KENNEDY: An exceptional United States agent. 27 years old – he was once a police officer in Raccoon City, a provincial town in the mid-western United States. Shortly after being assigned there, he was embroiled in the ‘Umbrella Incident’ and survived Raccoon City, which had become a city of the dead. His skills were recognised and he was scouted by a government agency where he was assigned to guard duty for Ashley, the President’s daughter. But when she was kidnapped by someone, he is sent on a secret mission to investigate the incident. When he arrives in a European village based on information received, he finds himself caught up in a tragedy that brings back the nightmares of six years ago. *Perhaps because of his horrific experience six years ago, which he himself describes as ‘traumatic’, he is nihilistic, and his jokes are sometimes self-deprecating. *He refuses to smoke when offered a cigarette by one of his police officer guides, and shakes his head when Luis asks him for one. On principle he does not smoke tobacco. *Six years ago, Leon was young and inexperienced, but now he is a leading agent who can handle hard action with grace and coolness.

  • 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.
