Dennis Redmond
I received my Ph.D. in Communications from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2012. My dissertation, "Videogames as Transnational Media: One Neoliberalism, Many Resistances" argues that videogames are where digital artists and transnational audiences struggle against the transnational plutocracy.
My research and writing focuses on contemporary videogame culture, transnational audiences and world-systems theory.
Back in the past century, I was a student of Comparative Literature, and received my first PhD (on 20th century Francophone and German literature, US science fiction, and Theodor Adorno's critical theory) from the University of Oregon in 2000.
In 2001, I wrote a book on late 20th century television culture ("The World is Watching", published by Southern Illinois University Press in 2003).
In 2018, I completed a book called "Worlds To Win", which analyzes CD Projekt Red's "The Witcher 3", Bethesda's "Fallout 4" and Ross Scott's machinima "Freeman's Mind" as works of transnational media.
Currently, I write videogame criticism for the 8 billion commoners of planet Earth (if you have spare cash, feel free to support my work at: http://patreon.com/uplinkmagazine).
I'm also working on a transnational history of the world-system from 1492 to 2008, called "Meditations on Geopolitics". This will be a seven volume work which is equal parts political, economic, and cultural analysis. The first five volumes are complete and available on this site, as well as on my personal site: https://dennisredmond.weebly.com/publications.html
