Abstract

LORENZO-OTERO, Juan L.. Intermediate migrations in the western genre: An analysis of the Red Dead series. Humanidades [online]. 2023, vol.13, n.1, pp.81-97. ISSN 2215-3934.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/h.v13i1.52608.

If there is a characteristic genre of cinema that reflects the idea of a symbolic narrative, it would undoubtedly be the western. A stereotypical staging of the audiovisual industry and North American culture, through the foundational story of the conquest of the territory. An aesthetic and narrative structure that has migrated to other media such as comics, television, novels, and video games. It is in this last scenario where the Red Dead series is analysed to observe how the most characteristic elements of the far west -in all its aspects- are introduced in this videoludic environment designed by Rockstar Games through an intermediate narrative proposal.
