Four distinct phases are identified: the pre-modern era and its quest for a secular future focusing on the organizational improvement of worldly conditions; the modern era, which emphasized progress and the promise of better times ahead; the post-modern era, marked by dystopian scenarios of humanity’s destruction of the planet; the current period and its aspirations for humanity’s evolution through digital technology. – An accumulating number of ‘new’ media have shaped these designs of the future: First, the printed book allowed for the literary evocation of utopian and early science fiction visions. Later, the industrial media of film and television represented imagined futures audiovisually. Currently, digital games provide interactive simulations of dystopian and utopian futures, enabling immersive experiences and cyborg-like engagement. The further evolution of media may hybridize material reality and different software virtualities, thus facilitating extended experiences of potential futures. – The paper demonstrates that – as a consequence of changing cultural values and technological advances – four overarching “grand narratives” have structured the modern media history of the future: the humanistic metanarrative of secularization in pre-industrial modernity; the mass humanistic metanarrative of welfare through progress in the industrial age; the post-humanistic metanarrative of the climate catastrophe during the de-industrialization and early digitalization period; and finally, the emerging transhumanistic metanarrative of an impending digital singularity entailing a technological augmentation of the human species.","PeriodicalId":34863,"journal":{"name":"Colloquium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135661436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal here is to draw attention to the genre’s potential for the academic discussion, analysis, and teaching of Romantic theories and patterns. To achieve this, I provide an introductory overview on the history of the walking simulator with emphasis on the early experimental games Explorer, The Forest, and LSD: Dream Emulator. An analysis of Dear Ether’s landscape design and narrative structure serves as access point into the discussion of how the Romantic ideas of 1. the sublime, 2. the silent poetry of nature, and 3. The Freudian Uncanny as well as the storytelling techniques of 1. synesthesia, 2. (reflective and meditative) walking, 3. fragmented narratives, and 4. (romantic) self-referentiality have been used in different walking simulators (such as Proteus, What Remains of Edith Finch, Gone Home, and The Beginners Guide) to tell (spatial) stories about emotions, identity, individuality. Walking simulators subvert traditional expectations towards digital games and, through their use of Romantic storytelling techniques, have changed the discourse about digital games as not only entertainment but a form of art.","PeriodicalId":34863,"journal":{"name":"Colloquium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134890657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
