Commodified futures: Female agency in Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

Completing this thesis has represented a long journey, not just in the sense of the writing, but also the life events that have led me to this point.As a realisation of a long-held desire to write something on the topic of femininity in the Blade Runner universe means that a number of people have played a part in making this achievement possible.Please understand how grateful I am to all of you.As to those who have been directly involved across my time at the Universidade de Vigo, first of all, my sincerest thanks to my supervisor, Jorge Luis Alonso Bueno.It is very much on account of his wisdom, investment in this project, and confidence in me, that this whole work has been possible.It might even be suggested that he made it an enjoyable experience!Thanks must also go to the whole Departamento del Filoloxía inglesa, francesa e alemá
