Wątki futurystyczne i cyberpunkowe w wybranych telewizyjnych produkcjach popkultury w kontekście retoryczno-językoznawczej analizy utworu audiowizualnego
Futuristic and cyberpunk themes in popculture television shows and rhetoricallinguistic analysis of audiovisual work

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to show a number of linguistic analysis possibilities of futuristic and cyberpunk movie themes. My choice of material was untypical; Many of my chosen TV-shows were not the classical example of analyzed type of literature and its adaptations. I attempted to find and describe popculture products inspired by futuristic and cyberpunk literature, which don’t have to meet all the conditions for being defined as cyberpunk work, for example: Westworld (HBO), Doctor Who (BBC), and Mr. Robot (USA Network). My goal was to collect and discuss interesting language units and their combinations which may be used as material in rhetoric and linguistic studies. Some of the examples used were only succinctly described as an invitation to further scholarly activities: Black Mirror (Channel 4 / Netflix), Extant (CBS).
