Of these tropes, none has been more imaginatively fertile than the intelligent android, a concept that implicates a wide variety of epistemologies, from ethics to economics, politics, psychology, sociology and religion, constituting a privileged place for the examination of the boundaries of the human. This article examines the broad mappings of this enquiry, focusing on literary, televisual and filmic texts – He, She and It (1991), Battlestar Galactica (2004-9), and Ex¬_Machina (2015) – that work the hypothesis of the personhood of androids through alternative angles, and make very different claims about desire for sameness with humans, agency and autonomySecção de Estudos Ingleses e Norte-Americanos (SEINA)Centro de Estudos Ingleses de Tradução e Anglo-portugueses (CETAPS)RUNBotelho, Teresa2018-06-18T22:08:13Z20172017-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article17application/pdfhttp://messengersfromthestars.letras.ulisboa.pt/journal/archives/article/i-am-also-a-person-consciousness-personhood-and-android-identity-in-post-singularity-science-fictioneng2183-7465PURE: 4269948http://messengersfromthestars.letras.ulisboa.pt/journal/archives/article/i-am-also-a-person-consciousness-personhood-and-android-identity-in-post-singularity-science-fictioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T04:21:47Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/39691Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:31:09.915032Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
