SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Today, Posthumanism is a controversial issue which has received great attention from authors and critics. It is obvious that womens lives have been revolutionized by the help of new technologies for good and evil and literature as the mirror of life and society endeavors to reflect human beings upcoming future. This thesis aims to investigate the two ends of the spectrum of Posthumanism through analyzing two fictional works. One novel, The Stepford Wives and its two movie adaptations represent the powers overuse of technology to dominate women and the other novel, The Handmaids Tale, gives us an example of Post post-humanism when all the technologies that women once had, have been taken by the authorities. In both novels, women are deprived of choices, desires, ambitions, interests; and the language that they use is, on the one hand, extremely limited and on the other hand observed by those in power. The research generally seeks to answer three questions in three chapters: How have womens attitudes towards their bodies changed in a technological Posthuman/Post-posthuman world? How are womens Posthuman/Post-posthuman identities constructed? And, how does literature challenge the utopian claims of a Posthuman world? The study draws on relevant theories in relation to Posthumanism, body, identity and utopian literature. In conclusion, the research shows how authorities and holders of power in Posthuman or Post-posthuman worlds can, consciously or unconsciously, oppress women by dehumanizing and objectifying them through reducing their functions in the society and changing their attitudes towards their bodies and identities and how literature can rightly warn us that no technological advancement can create utopias for people and particularly for women, as long as patriarchy and self-interested power remain the main actors on the stage of the world.
Text of Note
در طول تاریخ زنان همواره تحت سلطه بوده اند .این سلطه ده ها قرن بطور مستقیم توسط مردان، جامعه و فرهنگ به آنان تحمیل شده است .اما در قرن حاضر با افزایش آگاهی زنان و حضور فعالشان در جامعه این سلطه ی مستقیم نیز ماهیت خود را تغییر داده است .با نگاهی ژرف به جامعه شاهد زنانی هستیم که نه تنها ظاهرا بلکه باطنا نیز به کپی از یکدیگر مبدل شده اند که حتی زبان و کلماتی هم که استفاده می کنند بسیار محدود است .در این بین نقش تکنولوژی و رسانه در دیکته نمودن ایده آل های گروههای دارای قدرت غیر قابل انکار است .از سوی دیگر، با پیشرفت تکنولوژی و علوم نوین و دستکاری بدن انسان به منظور ارتقای آن، دیدگاه انسان به بدن خود و نیز کارهایی که با آن می توان انجام داد تغییر کرده است .برخی موافق این پیشرفتها هستند زیرا معتقدند که ما با استفاده از انعطاف پذیزی ذات انسان قادر به دستیابی به ابرانسان خواهیم بود، گروهی دیگر نیز با تبدیل انسان به ربات مخالفند و آن را مرگ انسانیت می پندارند .این پایان نامه سعی دارد نشان دهد که چگونه ادبیات و سینما آرمانشهر ارایه شده توسط پست اومانیسم را به چالش می کشند و چه تصویری از شرایط زن پست اومانیست مجسم میکنند
