  • Orientalism in Assassin's Creed : self-orientalizing the assassins from forerunners of modern terrorism into occidentalized heroes
    Komel, Mirt
    The article delivers an analysis of the first of Ubisoft's long and popular franchise Assassin's Creed (2007-) in order to show how it conforms as well as how it distinguishes itself from similar ... cases of Orientalism in video games. If Orientalism traditionally depicted a negative picture of the Oriental Other in general and the so-called Assassins in particular (seldom associated with extremism and terrorism), then in Assassin's Creed we find at work a certain self-orientalistic subversion that mediates a positive identification, rather then disqualification of this privileged Arabo-Islamic Other. Thus, the article proposes a close examination of the orientalistic and self-orientalistic elements in the selected video game from a cultural studies approach in order to answer the question of how is it possible that the Assassins, traditionally understood as forerunners of modern terrorism, became the heroic protagonists of a western video game.
