Framtidens män(niskor) : En bild- och diskursanalys av Ex Machina utifrån kritiska framtidsstudier / The future (hu)man : The film Ex Machina from a critical future studies perspective

Li, Cäcilia January 2023 (has links)
This essay examines visions of the future in Alex Garlands 2015 film Ex Machinausing critical futures studies and posthumanist theories. The aim is to make visible howfutures are constructed and how artificial bodies are coded based on ideas of the future.Through an image and discourse analysis, the essay shows how “Western” society isstructured and how it is expected to be structured in the future. While the previous researchmainly focuses on phenomenology and gender, this essay shows that intersectional methodscan be helpful in making visible how power structures influence how we construct and viewbodies. In addition, the analysis shows how images of the future are multifaceted andcomplex, while at the same time they reproduce hegemonic visions of the past, present andfuture. In summary, this essay shows how the visions of the future in Ex Machina areprimarily based on a “Western” scientific tradition that reproduces colonial and patriarchalideals, though they are consistently challenged by the existence and actions of the cyborgs.

From tranquilising to transforming : How can yoga practices address systemic patterns of oppression in order to cultivate liberation?

Gobillot, Chloé January 2023 (has links)
This study is an exploration of the practices of yoga teachers whose approaches are inscribed in social justice. Indeed, it attempts to understand how they find cohesion between a complex and spiritual discipline and their commitment to participate in anti-oppression. Moreover, it looks at the ways they believe yoga can be used for collective liberation. It is autoethnographical, and is based on semi-qualitative interviews which are then analysed thematically. Furthermore, it is analytically framed within theories of intersectionality, affective knowledge and teaching, solidarity and language, and critical future and utopian studies. The analysis then focuses on the teachers’ understanding of yogic practices andphilosophies before unveiling the ways they address and/or avoid issues of oppression and looking at the ways they envision yoga as a tool for collective liberation.
