Název v původním jazyce

Robot and Kitsch: From the myth of technological progress towards the medium of subversive strategies of posthumanism

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter traces evolution of the Robot, motif/drama character coined by Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (1920/21), from the central figure of the technological progress myth towards it?s transformation into powerful means of subversive strategies within discourse of post-humanism and information society. The argument starts with explanation of the R.U.R. reception by Czech theatre critiques (Robot as a kitsch), and continues by tracing the way Robot had become part of the myth of the ?machine age? andsubsequently their reputation as sci-fi genre cliché establishment. Finally, the Robotic art importance as a platform of subversive strategies within new media art practices and information society ideologies is stressed.
