Search by topic:   18738. THE CONCEPT OF CYBORGS IN THE RISING “TECHNOCULTURE.” It has recently been argued that technology is leading to a “post-human” reality, in which the identities of humans and machines are becoming increasingly merged. This paper discusses the films Robocop, Blade Runner and The Matrix, as well as the theoretical views of Donna Haraway (author of “The Cyborg Manifesto”), among others. It is argued that the concept of the cyborg should be interpreted metaphorically. The concept enables human beings to experience a new sense of freedom and to find more appropriate ways of being human in today’s technological age.
