Abstract
This paper explores the intersection of "Westworld" and psychoanalysis, examining how the popular TV series creatively uses psychoanalytic concepts to construct the 'psychic apparatus' of its android characters. The article delves into how Westworld uses the therapeutic conversation to explore the inner workings of its android characters and how the series plays with traditional psychoanalytic models to create a compelling narrative about the emergence of conscience. Additionally, the article examines what we can learn about the media history of psychoanalysis and its applicability to human-machine-interactions by examining its portrayal in popular media like Westworld.
