MAP Presentation Series
Dr. Matthew Thompson will be giving a talk that analyzes three children's animated films that feature environmental robots: WALL-E, Where the Robots Grow, and The Wild Robot. All three films demonstrate an environmental fantasy which finds itself most clearly expressed in children’s science fiction. That is, as capitalism continues to devour the planet, we are ignoring difficult or unprofitable solutions to ecological problems and focusing instead on the idea that artificial intelligence will solve the crisis for us.
