Here, the author presents a sequentially yet nonlinearly organized collage of previously published writing, curated under the title “Squid Game(s).” The collage is composed entirely of decontextualized quotations. The excerpts include reviews and analysis of the Netflix series Squid Game; excerpts from accounts and analysis of the Holocaust, Nazism, and their representation; discussions of homeless men paid to attack each other in a video series; and texts drawn from contemporary social theory. The collage, as an experiment, offers readers an opportunity for recontextualization through their own associative sense-making. Readers determine what is important information, what might be fruitfully compared and contrasted, and how a viral hit television program might come to “mean.”
