The "post-human" is both a description and judgment of the possible forms of human existence in the present and the future,and a series of relations based on this judgment,involving the fields of science,technology,philosophy,politics,art and other natural sciences and humanities.The "post-human era" is a new era with a "post" color,and its main differences from the "human era" are the mixing of subject and object,the mobility of identity,and the reshaping of the human body by machines and artificial intelligence.The main differences from the "human era" are the mixing of subject and object,the mobility of identity,and the reshaping of human bodies by machines and artificial intelligence.All the issues raised by the "post-human era" are aimed at the elimination of "anthropocentrism" and the dissolution of the subject.Undoubtedly,the birth of "Cyborg" means that "we have become post-human",that is,"post-human" has become an established fact and a real situation.With the advent of the post-human era,where will humanity go? Among the many identity issues,gender identity is the most fundamental one.For women,identity has a clear political tendency and practical relevance,and is often closely related to issues of oppression,class and power.Currently,most gender issues in science fiction films focus on whether robots need gender and the importance of gender to the development of artificial intelligence.In the context of modern technology,the body component is further questioned and replaced,eventually forming a "cyborg" of human-machine integration.As a unique narrative form,the virtual imagination of "cyborgs" in science fiction films breaks the boundaries of traditional body structures,and thus participates in the discussion of female identity in a transcendental form.In science fiction films,the "Cyborg" is also given gender as a human fantasy of self-image.In this context,the study of female identity in the "post-human" context has certain theoretical value and practical significance.Based on postmodern feminist theory,this study focuses on the image of cyborg women in science fiction films and explores the issue of female identity in the post-human context.The paper is divided into three parts: introduction,body,and conclusion,using the literature research method,summary and induction method,and interdisciplinary research method.In the introduction,we focus on the reasons for the selection of the topic and analyze the current research status of this issue at home and abroad.On this basis,the research content,significance,innovation and specific measures are presented.The main contents of the main text are:The first chapter is about "cyborgs" and "cyborgs’ bodies" in the post-human context.On the one hand,a conceptual explanation of "cyborgs" and "cyborgs’ bodies" is given.On the other hand,by reviewing the development of the cyber body from "artificial human" to "cyborg" and the disembodied and embodied states it presents,the heterogeneity of the "cyborg body" in the post-human era is explored.The heterogeneity of the "cyborg body" in the post-human era is explored.Chapter 2: cyborg Women in the Post-human Context.In science fiction films,the image of cyborg women has undergone a major transformation from "gender-less" to"warrior woman.By exploring the transformation of the female image and the construction of female gender identity in science fiction films,the social reflection on the identity dilemma and identity of cyborg women in science fiction films will reveal the hidden ideological constructs behind it.Chapter 3 explores the female identity and identity crisis in the post-human context.Through exploring the identity dilemma and identity crisis of cyborg women in the posthuman context,it is easy to see that the "cyborg space" is still following the traditional patriarchal discourse on the construction of women,and the construction of women’s identity in it is not completely free from the traditional social gender.It can be seen that the current creation of "Cyberspace" is still influenced and dominated by gender ideology.Therefore,whether in the "human era" or in the "post-human era," women’s gender identity has long been transformed into a series of symbols,which are often used to create a false reality.As a result,women’s path to solving the crisis of gender identity and establishing an "authentic" identity is foggy.Chapter 4: Thinking about Women’s Identity in a Post-human Context.As a fusion of human and technology,the "cyborg" plays an important role in the disintegration of the traditional feminine essence.At the same time,the emergence and absence of the "cyborg body" makes the traditional female identity unconsciously replaced by a new one.Therefore,the emergence of "cyborgs" makes traditional gender roles no longer applicable,and women need to redefine their identities and roles,and also need to think about how to use cyborg technology to expand their abilities and values,and adapt to the progress and development of society.In the conclusion section,the main points and breakthrough points of the study are summarized and distilled,and the current study is summarized and looked forward to.The complexity and manipulation of women’s gender identity in the post-human era will prompt us to critically reflect on the nature of women and the actions we should take,and exploring how women can use Cyber technology to expand their capabilities and how to redefine their identity issues will be our next step.
