Creating the Ideal Posthuman Body? Cyborg Sex and Gender in the Work of Buzzati, Vacca, and Ammaniti (original) (raw)

This article examines the representation of cyborg characters in Italian literature, particularly focusing on works by Dino Buzzati, Roberto Vacca, and Niccolò Ammaniti. It engages with themes around gender, sexuality, and the relationship between technology and the human condition, arguing that these texts reflect and reinforce patriarchal norms while exploring the possibilities and discontents of posthuman identity. By analyzing the interactions of gender roles and cyborg representations, the study contributes to the discourse on how technology impacts societal expectations and individual identity.
