Resumo: This article aims to investigate challenges of the (co)existence between humans and posthumans represented in two contemporary works of fiction: the novel Klara and the Sun (2021), by Kazuo Ishiguro, and the film After Yang (2021), by Kogonada. Both works narrate the effects of the presence of posthuman individuals in human families. The present text will be organized considering two focus points: firstly, the way in which those works of fiction problematize notions of human and posthuman identities, especially taking into account questions such as memory, race and faith; secondly, the manners in which these technological beings are inserted into the context of human families. Thus, this article intends to demonstrate how Klara and the Sun and After Yang are works which test the limits of posthuman representation, questioning essentialist humanist paradigms.

Os dois trabalhos narram os efeitos da presença de indivíduos pós-humanos em famílias humanas. O presente texto será organizado a partir de dois focos de análise: primeiramente, a maneira que essas obras de ficção problematizam noções de identidade humana e pós-humana, especialmente considerando questões como memória, raça e fé; e em segundo lugar, as formas que esses entes tecnológicos se inserem em um contexto familiar humano. Sendo assim, esse trabalho pretende mostrar como Klara e o Sol e After Yang são obras que testam os limites da representação pós-humana, questionando paradigmas essencialistas do humanismo.UFSC2023-03-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/8814210.5007/2175-8026.2023.e88142Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 76 No. 1 (2023): Resignifying Critical Approaches in Literature, Film, and Cultural StudiesIlha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 76 n. 1 (2023): Resignifying Critical Approaches in Literature, Film, and Cultural Studies2175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/88142/52715Copyright (c) 2023 Anderson Gomeshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGomes, Anderson Soares2023-03-07T15:31:20Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/88142Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2023-03-07T15:31:20Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
