O knihe

This Volume deals with issues related to the body as a product and its concept projected by cinema. Continuing Volume I, here in particular, it will be possible to make a bridge between fiction - where it all begins - and reality. If the bionic-eared cyborg is, in the 21st century, an identity - among so many other subtypes of cyborgs - its genesis is found in the cradle of Science Fiction. As a literary character, being a creation of fictional language, and with the advent of photography that, by gaining movement, migrates to the big screens, the cyborg is characterized as an instance presented to society. It is among other possibilities a body model that promises in its performance durability to the flesh that until then was a support endowed with indignity. The 21st century, as shown in this book, lives the unbridled quest for immortality in which and for which anything goes. Therefore, this volume speaks of technology and body, capital and cultural objects as much as it does of morality and power games. This book shows that the dichotomy - nature and artificiality - has already been projected by film productions. In this way fiction is the myth of the present time.
