Extra Credit blog on Bladerunner
Worth up to 5 points total
Post by next Monday, November 30th before class.
I mentioned in class that I’d like to offer an extra credit
blog as a platform for a conversation about Bladerunner.
There were a few leading questions I had to spark your thoughts that I
mentioned in class:
-What’s with eyes in the film?
-How does the world and technology of the film tie into or
relate to Haraway’s “Cyborg Manifesto?”
-And taking into consideration that we are all cyborgs, how
does the replicant Rachel, as Haraway suggests, register the “fear, love, and
confusion,” of our contemporary cyborg culture?
Of course, feel free to produce your own perspectives and
analyses, or to make connections between Bladerunner
and other texts from the course.
