11	Frihet, jämlikhet, cyborgskap : Drömmen om den mänskligare människan / Freedom, equality, cyborghood : More human than human Magnuson, Markus Amalthea January 2011 (has links) This thesis explores the metaphoric cyborg concept, based on the classic essay "A Cyborg Manifesto" by Donna J. Haraway, through Claudia Springer and her analysis of cyborgs in popular culture, and in relation to Judith Butler and queer theory. By extending the cyborg term to include contemporary forms of cyborgship such as our internet lives and personas, I advocate discussion of philosophical matters concering man/machine-compounds today rather than tomorrow. The main purpose is to restore the cyborg concept as a meaningful analytic and philosophic tool for studying man/machine-relations, in a world where other theories concerning nature/culture, man/machine/animal, subject/object, and similar dichotomies, partly lack a technological perspective. Hopefully, this thesis manages to connect three decades of cyborg reflections from several points of view, posing interesting questions about our dealings and feelings towards our dear friends – the machines. cyborg cognitive science artificial intelligence post-human Donna J.

12	Femme fatale: Kvinnorna i Blade Runner : En studie av visuell karaktär och kvinnlig representation i filmerna Blade Runner: The Final Cut och Blade Runner 2049 / Femme fatale: The women of Blade Runner : A study in visual character and female representation in the films Blade Runner: The Final Cut and Blade Runner 2049 Skoting, Joel January 2022 (has links) In this study I have compared the two movies Blade Runner: The Final Cut (2006) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017) in regards to their visual identity and female representation. The first of these films is the latest version of Blade Runner, a movie which have undergone an unusual amount of editing and therefore exists in multiple iterations. The latter of the two is a direct sequel, released 35 years after the original version of Blade Runner. I have done a thorough account of the respective plot, visual characteristics and of how the women are portrayed whitin each film. Due to a comparison of these I have been able to outline some interesting themes in regards to how both films incoporate themes of commersialisation of the female form, although in varying degrees. This is sometime undermined by the films problematic portrayal of some of these characters. I have also been able to observe a shift in regards to how the films portray a futuristic Los Angeles. Rather than mixing noir-inspired, believable locales with elements typical of science fiction, Blade Runner 2049 portrays the future as more coherent and stylistic. Some scenes in Blade Runner 2049 consists of only a few tones of a single colour, such as blue, grey and orange, a stylistic choice Blade Runner: The Final Cut does not use.

16	Le discours sur la ville dans les films d'anticipation Cloutier, Caroline 25 April 2018 (has links) Ce mémoire a pour objet d'étude la ville et l'architecture dans les films d'anticipation. Le cinéma y est pris dans sa dimension critique, c'est-à-dire dans sa capacité de formuler des discours sur la ville et l'architecture. Ces discours se comprennent par la mise en relief des conditions d'émergence des films et par extension, celle de leurs décors. L'idée que l'on se fait de la ville du futur dépend donc de facteurs contemporains à chaque film : le contexte socio-politique, économique et culturel dans lequel un film a été produit, les théories et pratiques de l'architecture à la même époque ainsi que l'histoire que raconte le film sont quelques-uns de ces facteurs. Cette étude présente donc l'analyse de quelques films d'anticipation sélectionnés à travers toute l'histoire du cinéma. Metropolis de Fritz Lang, Just Imagine de David Butler, Alphaville de Jean-Luc Godard, la trilogie Star Wars de George Lucas et Blade Runner de Ridley Scott sont les sujets principaux de ce mémoire. / Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 2014 D 3.5 UL 2003 C647 Alphaville (Film cinématographique) Metropolis (Film cinématographique) Blade runner (Film cinématographique) Star wars (Film cinématographique) Just imagine (Film cinématographique) Villes au cinéma Architecture au cinéma
