포스트휴먼과 사이보그, 이념과 경험 : 케빈 워릭의 『나는 왜 사이보그가 되었는가』와 김초엽･김원영의 『사이보그가 되다』를 중심으로

초록

This paper aims to examine the problems of transhumanism, one of the major discourses in posthumanism, through examples. This article dealt with this issue through the story of the cyborgs of Kim Cho-Yeop, Kim Won-young, and Kevin Warwick. Warwick succeeded in becoming a cyborg on his own. Through the success of this experiment, he was optimistic about the future in which super humans will emerge. This superhuman is a representation of the modern rational human image with perfect order. Kim Cho-Yeop and Kim Won-young disagree with this technology optimism. They try to critically describe the reality behind the bright future presented by technological advancement. As the disabled, they are newly examining the cyborg discourse through related cases and their own experiences. In this paper, we examined the problems of technology accessibility and the science of promise that they posed.
