This is the first of a two part podcast. The second part will be available on Monday.

Works Attewell discusses (warning, all of these posts contain spoilers for all five books):

  • Bran IV (introducing the law of hospitality, the history of prosthetics, and StupidRobb)
  • Jon IV (Jon gets over his privilege, Alliser Thorne as a sign of institutional dysfunction, problems with primogeniture)
  • Dany IV (Vaes Dothrak as cultural artifact, how did the historical parallels for the Dothraki fare against knights?)
  • Eddard V (Pycelle is the worst conspirator in the series, a major step forward in the Littlefinger Conspiracy, and the history of poison plots)
  • Eddard VI (institutional power and the Goldcloaks, tourneys as trickle-down economics vs. the 99 percent, noir detective Eddie Stark’s investigation catches a break, checking in with the Littlefinger and Renly/Tyrell Conspiracies, history of trade guilds, police forces, and royal bastards)
  • Sansa II (the deconstruction of romantic medievalism and the problematic allure of war, my grand conspiracy theory of the assassination of Ser Hugh of the Vale, and Victorian jousting)
  • Catelyn V (assessing Catelyn as a political actor, contingency and inevitability in the meeting of Catelyn and Tyrion, GRRM as a Greek god)
