26 Dec 2009, 5:51 PM   | Texts in Time; Frankenstein/Blade Runner essay You can hide this advertisement by registering. I have an assessment task coming up - an essay on the following topic:Similar issues, explored in different contexts, may reflect changes in values and perspectives. How is this demonstrated in the comparison of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner? I got this question, looked at it and was like  but anyway. How do i talk about the changes in values and perspectives? Sure; culture and society are vastly different between the two texts, but I can't really think of much to say other than; The culture depicted in Frankenstein valued Nature and Blade Runner's does not. But like, that doesn't afford me much to talk about in an hour, which is the time I have to write the bloody thing. Help appreciated; those of you who will actually want to talk about F & B.R in your spare time...

Yesterday, 10:53 AM | Re: Texts in Time; Frankenstein/Blade Runner essay "changes in values and perspectives" just refers to the change in context (cos context is made up of values/perspectives of that time). I think it just wants you to refer more specifically to contextual VALUES and contextual PERSPECTIVES. Frankenstein: Values: nature, emotion/passion Perspectives: contextual concerns (romanticism v rationalism) I guess the perspective is that human ambitions and rationalism results in scientific aberrations. Bladerunner: Values: freedom, individuality Perspectives: contextual concerns (environmentalism, capitalism), post modernism, alienation in contemporary society. I guess the perspective is that technology results in the alienation and ambiguity of humanity in a dehumanised society.
