The object of study of this thesis is the cyborg; Being analyzed in two aspects, the representations of cyborg in the media products, and the reflexes of these representations in the understanding of the human relation with the technology. Working with an expanded notion of technology, not necessarily related to devices characteristic of the contemporary world, we assume that we have always been cyborgs, as cognitive scientist Andy Clark and researcher Donna Haraway have argued. We propose that it is through the mediatic representations realized in the world cultural transit, in the contaminations between different cultures that this characteristic becomes more and more explicit, since in the Asian cultures the cyborguization has always been admitted as a natural process. In methodological terms we will simply construct a chronology of the cyborg, going through Haraway's ideas and ending with Clark, we will approach such concepts with some authors who have analyzed body-technology relations and their representations in Asian cultures like Thomas Lamarre. The research corpus involves animations, comics and films from different countries. The expected result is a reflection that collaborates with the destabilization of the dichotomies between nature and culture that still haunt most of the bibliographies that discuss the role of technology in the contemporary world
