초록
Based on the conceptualization of cyborgs from Donna Haraway, this paper compares the novel Frankenstein (1818) by Mary Shelley and the film Ex Machina (2015) by Alex Garland to explore creations of artificial/ mechanical humans as conscious and sensible beings. By focusing on post-humanistic relationships, the paper traces how creator scientists (Victor and Nathan) and their hybrid creatures (the Monster and Ava) deconstruct anthropocentric values and systems. Observing man-made beings in the novel and film as conscious humans is an opportunity to witness paths of negotiated meaning. Ultimately, Frankenstein and Ex Machina raise the thesis of becoming a new human being who recognizes and acts on an ever-changing world where invisible boundaries between human and non-human, organism, and machine, as well as the physical and non-physical are breaking down.
