‘By retrofiKng contemporary technologies or imagining new ones built with 19th century components, Steampunk fic%on and prac%ce refuses a purely passive acceptance of new technologies and mechanisa%on’
The Mysterious Geographic Adventures of Jasper Morello (2005). Dir. Anthony Lucas
‘Alongside the machinery of Steampunk is usually expected the depic%on of a par%cular historical and geographical loca%on. More oVen than not this is England – or more specifically London – in the 19th Century’
Steamboy (2004). Dir. Katsuhiro Otomo
‘This historical/geographical locale is central to or implicit in numerous Steampunk texts’
A Gentleman’s Duel (2006). Dirs. McNally & Velasco
‘Examples of texts that trouble the waters of an easy, trope orientated, defini%on of Steampunk’
‘Casshern is a Japanese live ac%on anime shot en%rely on a digital backlot’
Casshern (2004). Dir. Kazuaki Kiriya

Casshern (2004). Dir. Kazuaki Kiriya
…we might easily find nothing notable in terms of Steampunk at all, disregarding it as a SF/superhero flick’
Casshern (2004). Dir. Kazuaki Kiriya
‘However, the visual look and feel of the film’s mechanical technologies point resolutely backwards, retaining a flavour of Victoriana if not quite a fidelity to the actual historical period’

Casshern (2004). Dir. Kazuaki Kiriya
‘Similarly, in Bioshock, it is the temporal loca%on of the game’s narra%ve that seems to be the s%cking point for an unqualified Steampunk status, coupled with an advanced gene%c or biotechnology’
Bioshock (2007). 2k Games
‘The player character discovers a world ravaged by civil war and haunted by the gore‐hungry Splicers, vic%ms and addicts of Rapture’s discovery of gene%c and body modifica%on’
Bioshock (2007). 2k Games
‘In order to hack machines in Bioshock, you are not required to reprogramme it or access its electronics…
Bioshock (2007). 2k Games
‘Instead you must redirect the flow of liquid running through glass and brass tubing. The en%re infrastructure of Rapture is a network of machines that run on something very akin to if not iden%cal to steampower’

‘Perhaps the most audacious example of excess in Steampunk is apparent in Joe R Lansdale’s “The Steam Man of the Prairie and the Dark Rider Get Down: A Dime Novel”’

‘…the SF history of Steampunk has an Other. It has a presence that is at %mes more overt and at others more clandes%ne but which I would argue is always present. This is the haun%ng presence of the Gothic’
The City of Lost Children (1995). Dir. Jean‐Pierre Jeunet & Marc Caro
‘Tinkerers, makers and costumers working within Steampunk subculture can be visually sugges%ve of not only of the real world and fic%onal Teslas and Edisons…
…but also of the Victor Frankenstein’s and Dr Jekylls of classic and deriva%ve Gothic texts’
‘Within narra%ve Steampunk, the somewhat sinister mo%f of the morally transgressive scien%st or inventor figure is also rampant’

Steamboy (2004). Dir. Katsuhiro Otoma
