Squid Game. Een dodelijke maatschappijkritiek? | Niels Niessen en Thijs Verwijmeren

from Radboud Reflects, verdiepende lezingen · host Radboud Reflects, verdiepende lezingen

Wat verklaart het wereldwijde succes van de Koreaanse televisieserie Squid Game? Waarom kijken we massaal hoe een groep arme Koreaanse burgers zich door een reeks dodelijke kinderspelletjes heen moet vechten? Zelfs op Nederlandse schoolpleinen spelen kinderen de scènes uit de hit-serie na. Is de serie een metafoor voor onze grimmige toekomst? In hoeverre reflecteert Squid Game ons denken over structurele ongelijkheid, autonomie en keuzevrijheid in onze maatschappij? Kom en luister naar cultuurwetenschapper Niels Niessen en sociaal psycholoog Thijs Verwijmeren over de populariteit van Squid Game en haar de dodelijke maatschappijkritiek. Let op: vanaf minuut 1:45 tot 2:40 is het geluidskwaliteit van deze opname erg laag omdat enkele vragen van de gespreksleider worden beantwoord zonder microfoon door bezoekers uit de zaal. De respons vanuit de zaal is hierdoor minder goed of slecht te horen. Squid Game.
