註釋

This thesis examines the genesis of two filmic texts of the late twentieth century, Alien and Blade runner, both directed by Ridley Scott, which have been influential in framing the modern cultural metanarrative around fears that globalised capitalism may have catastrophic consequences for future society. Arguing that Joseph Conrad has been a strong stylistic and thematic influence upon Scott's early work, and through Scott upon subsequent dystopian texts, I first investigate Scott's familiarity with Conrad's writing, then closely analyse Conrad's 1904 novel Nostromo and the two seminal Scott films.
