Contextual question 6

One thing Brooks Landon was saying in science fiction after 1900 was about how in almost all science fiction works they stuck to certain cultural ideals and took them as rules of reality rather than cultural constructs that they are, he made example of in how many sci-fis they have women and men in the same gender roles as there are in our society. (Edit: when he said that he was talking about older sci-fi not current, i got a bit ahead of myself with the taking notes thing)

Should potentially look at Phillip K Dicks works

I could potentially go into human nature as it is the cause for most culture and is much more relevant in miniaturised culture such as when you get small groups of people form a miniature society. Though I suppose that isn’t so much culture really that is much more strongly linked to human nature because when there is a small groups of people in dire situations creating societies they usually are already from a different culture and are already bringing in prejudices and ideals from that.

Though I suppose that could be an interesting look into how brining in the ideals of a larger culture and trying to apply it to a small survival orientated society as apposed to the much larger consumer based society the people would have come from.

Oh wait I know a film where there is a small society where the occupants don’t come from any previous culture so it is more an exploration in culture forming while still being a suaray into human nature (actually human nature is kind of a theme of the whole film) its the film 9, I will have to look at that.

These are some games that i could look into as well

Bioshock is also an interesting show of culture in sci-fi (steampuny kind of past sci-fi granted by sci-fi none the less)

Fallout

Mass Effect
