초록

This study focuses on Hawthorne’s interest in artificial humans in their relationship with ancient automata, based on the argument that Hawthorne attempted to maintain a balanced perspective on the rapidly changing development of science and technology in his time. For this purpose, the study first seeks to expand the scope of the search for the archetype of the posthuman, which has so far focused on the homunculus of the Middle Ages and the golem in Jewish folklore, by examining clues contained in ancient Eastern and Western literature. In addition, humans and animals develop various senses as their movements become more diverse in the process of evolving their nerves and brains. Focusing on the fact that the scarecrow man in “Feathertop” also shows such development, the study analyzes it based on Paul Maclean’s triune brain. Ultimately, this study seeks to explore the possibility of convergence between the two cultures at the point where literature and science are included in a common domain.
