Curtis D. Carbonell
Curtis D. Carbonell, Ph.D., teaches English as an associate professor at Khalifa University. He co-edited the book The Palgrave Handbook of Posthumanism in Film and Television (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015). He has also published work on Aldous Huxley with ‘Misreading Brave New World’ in Extrapolation and ‘Brave New World’ in Post-and-Transhumanism: An Introduction (Peter Lang, 2014). For the book The Routledge Companion to Cyberpunk Culture (Routledge, 2020) he wrote an article on cyberpunk and role-playing games. He is also interested in how the posthuman emerges in science fiction and fantasy studies, as well as in how analog-and-digital game studies are new fields that describe complex modes of cultural production. His book with Liverpool University Press, Dread Trident: Tabletop Role-Playing Games and the Modern Fantastic (Liverpool University Press, 2019) examines how tabletop role-playing games offer an archive of fantasy and SF gametexts ripe for an investigation into the rise of realized worlds. His current project in historical game studies ask how simgames provide new ways of understanding the past, such as the Second World War.
