Season Two of Westworld, HBO’s “science fiction western thriller” television series, drives a broadly-conceived visual culture/cultural studies course in which we identify and analyze various themes, tropes, and genres, histories and visions, typologies and allegories on screen and off; both inside and outside the show’s narrative. Possibilities include: feminism, sexploitation, artificial intelligence/cyborgs; Afrofuturism; American Indian and indigenous rights and representation; immigration, remakes; tv westerns; queerness and speculative fiction; revolution; AI rights, etc.
