In at least 500 words, you will do a comparative analysis of Dune (2021) and Journey (2012).Include timestamps or screenshots of the film/playthrough as evidence.
In your essay, address the following prompt: Deserts are arid, but not necessarily abandoned; sparse, but not necessarily empty. What usefulness do these settler narratives (empty, desolate, abandoned) have for states, governments, corporations, borders, empires?
Each answer should also engage with at least one of the scholarly texts we have studied in class so far. Try to paraphrase (rather than directly quote) the readings you’re working with.
