摘要
本文探讨了好莱坞科幻(SF)电影中对女性人工智能(AI)的描绘,主要关注点是《机械姬》(Ex Machina)。本研究采用女性主义和精神分析的视角,批判性地重新评估了社会文化期望和父权欲望是如何塑造女性人工智能的电影表现形式的。本文试图通过揭示在技术中塑造性别印记的无意识心理力量,分析被定位为后人类的(女性)人工智能如何通过战略性地操纵 "人造皮肤 "和类人结合,不仅反映而且参与构建女性特质,以满足男性的幻想和颠覆男性的统治地位,从而弥补细微的差距。最后,本文旨在为电影 SF 中围绕女性人工智能的性别动态及其与人类的权力关系的广泛讨论做出贡献。它探讨了智能女性机器人的叙事功能,这些机器人可能会破坏电影生活中的父权制叙事,或许也会破坏现实生活中的父权制叙事。
Deconstructing Ex Machina (2014): a feminist-psychoanalytic exploration of female artificial intelligences
This article examines the portrayal of female artificial intelligences (AIs) in Hollywood's science fiction (SF) films, with a primary focus on Ex Machina. Employing feminist and psychoanalytic perspectives, the study critically reassesses how socio-cultural expectations and patriarchal desires shape the cinematic representation of female AIs. It seeks to address a nuanced gap by revealing the unconscious psychological forces that mold gendered imprints within technology and analyzing how (female) AIs, positioned as posthuman beings, not only mirror but engage in the construction of femininity for the fulfillment of male fantasies and the subversion of male dominance, accomplished through the strategic manipulation of “artificial skin” and gynoid bonding. Finally, this paper aims to contribute to the broader discourse on gender dynamics surrounding female AIs and their power relations with humanity in the cinematic SF. It explores the narrative functions of intelligent fembots, which may disrupt patriarchal narratives both in reel life and, perhaps, real life.
