I am also a PersonConsciousness, Personhood and Android Identity in Post-Singularity Science FictionsingularitycyborgsandroidsAIBattlestar GalacticaHeShe and ItEx-Machinainfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/FCT/5876/147374/PTTechnological and scientific breakthroughs and contemporary transhumanist and posthumanist discourses have brought to the public sphere themes and preoccupations that have been addressed for decades by science fiction, namely the consequences of both the enhancement of the human body through fusion with non-organic components, and the creation of Artificial Intelligence entities (AI) with apparent capacity to simulate, if not integrate, qualities of sentience and self-awareness. 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 |
