  • Struction of the Feminine/Masculine Dichotomy in Westworld
    WiN: The EAAS Women’s Network Journal Issue 2 (2020) Skin-Deep Gender: Posthumanity and the De(con)struction of the Feminine/Masculine Dichotomy in Westworld Amaya Fernández Menicucci ABSTRACT: This article addresses the ways in which gender configurations are used as representations of the process of self-construction of both human and non-human characters in Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s series Westworld, produced by HBO and first launched in 2016. In particular, I explore the extent to which the process of genderization is deconstructed when human and non-human identities merge into a posthuman reality that is both material and virtual. In Westworld, both cyborg and human characters understand gender as embodiment, enactment, repetition, and codified communication. Yet, both sets of characters eventually face a process of disembodiment when their bodies are digitalized, which challenges the very nature of identity in general and gender identity in particular. Placing this digitalization of human identity against Donna Haraway’s cyborg theory and Judith Butler’s citational approach to gender identification, a question emerges, which neither Posthumanity Studies nor Gender Studies can ignore: can gender identities survive a process of disembodiment? Such, indeed, is the scenario portrayed in Westworld: a world in which bodies do not matter and gender is only skin-deep. KEYWORDS: Westworld; gender; posthumanity; embodiment; cyborg The cyborg is a creature in a post-gender world. The cyborg is also the awful apocalyptic telos of the ‘West’s’ escalating dominations . (Haraway, A Cyborg Manifesto 8) Revolution in a Post-Gender, Post-Race, Post-Class, Post-Western, Posthuman World The diegetic reality of the HBO series Westworld (2016-2018) opens up the possibility of a posthuman existence via the synthesis of individual human identities and personalities into algorithms and a post-corporeal digital life.

  • 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.

Any distribution, dissemination or duplication of this docu- ment is strictly prohibited. SYNOPSIS Why is it that some countries seem to be continually mired in cyclical wars, political instability and economic crises? The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one such a place, a mineral-rich Central African country that, over the last two decades, has seen more than five million conflict-related deaths, multiple regime changes and the wholesale impoverishment of its people. Yet though this ongoing conflict is the world’s bloodiest since WWII, little is known in the West about the players or stakes involved. THIS IS CONGO provides an immersive and unfiltered look into the Africa’s longest continuing conflict and those who are surviving within it. By following four compelling characters — a whistleblower, a patriotic military commander, a mineral dealer and a displaced tailor — the film offers viewers a truly Congolese perspective on the problems that plague this lushly beautiful nation. Colonel ‘Kasongo’, Mamadou Ndala, Mama Romance and Hakiza Nyantaba exemplify the unique resilience of a people who have lived and died through the generations due to the cycle of brutality generated by this conflict.

    JURASSIC PARK “[TITLE]” by By Michael Crichton [Author Name] A Screenplay Based on the Novel [Street Address] [City, ST ZIP Code] Revised First Draft [phone] January 19, 1991 [email] "JURASSIC PARK" 1. EXT. JUNGLE ROAD – DAY Through the impenetrable jungle, a JEEP bounces over a rugged muddy road toward us. As it approaches, we hear people singing "Do Run Run" at the top of their lungs. Inside, a typical American family: MIKE BOWMAN, a beefy Texan real estate salesman; his cheerleader-pretty wife ELLEN; and in the back seat their nine-year old daughter, TINA. They sing "Hey he caught my eye..." words that seem to mean something to the parents, and the kid has learned them, too. The Jeep turns down a hill and we discover we're near the ocean: beyond, a breathtaking crescent-shaped beach and the sparkling blue Pacific. MIKE Who-aaa! Will you look at that! TINA 'The beautiful beaches of Costa Rica are frequented by a variety of wildlife, including howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and three-toed sloths.' You think we'll see a three-toed sloth, Dad? MIKE Maybe so, honey. TINA I'm gonna look when we get there. ELLEN Tina, honey, don't read in the car, it's too bouncy. TINA Aw, Mom. ELLEN It'll make you throw up. TINA Jeez. It will not.

  • The Author Is Dead, Long Live the Author: Negotiating Textual Authority in Westworld, the OA and 13 Reasons Why
    . Volume 18, Issue 1 May 2021 The Author is Dead, Long Live the Author: Negotiating textual authority in Westworld, The OA and 13 Reasons Why Itay Harlap, Sapir Academic College and Tel Aviv University, Israel Ariel Avissar, Tel Aviv University, Israel Abstract: This paper examines the ways in which television imagines the relationship between creators and audiences in the contemporary media landscape. This is developed through an examination of the inaugural seasons of three American television dramas that debuted between October 2016 and March 2017: Netflix’s The OA and 13 Reasons Why and HBO’s Westworld; all three series featured the character of a storyteller who was killed within the narrative, in what was presented as an act of collaboration between the storyteller and their audience. We will question whether new participatory modes of media engagement truly engender ‘the birth of the viewer’ through a symbolic ‘killing’ of the creator, or merely serve to reaffirm the authority of the creator, reimagining the author-function as a powerful marketing brand. Keywords: television, audience, fan audience, new media, textual analysis, critical media studies Introduction Over a period of six months in 2016-2017, three American television dramas debuted that featured the character of a storyteller who was killed within the narrative, in what was presented as an act of collaboration between the storyteller and their audience. In the case of The OA (2016-2019), this was the titular protagonist (a character portrayed by series co- creator, Brit Marling), who narrated her life story for a group of characters; on 13 Reasons Page 89 Volume 18, Issue 1 May 2021 Why (2017-2020), it was Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford), who narrated thirteen confessional cassette tape recordings made prior to her suicide; on Westworld (2017-), it was Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins), founder and creative director of the ‘Westworld’ theme park, who orchestrated the park’s principal narrative.
