Mismatched Texts


Mar 12, 2022

Wherein Andy and Justice saddle up for a conversation about the expansiveness of the West in Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption 2 and the entrapment of urban space in China Miéville's The City & The City. What can we learn from exploring the once wide-open prairie and the crushing darkness of the metropolis in these texts? Why do we seek to escape the only spaces we have ever known? Can we even imagine escape? Topics range from manifest destiny to settler colonialism to mass surveillance. Also, make sure to resurrect your horse before reloading.
