THE POSTHUMANIST TRANSFORMATION OF IDENTITY AND MORALITY IN MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN AND KAZUO ISHIGURO’S NEVER LET ME GO

Öz

Posthumanism is a theory that aims to understand human and posthuman creatures on Earth, contrary to the anthropocentric perspective that has been around for centuries. This theory defends that not only humans have the right to live on earth, but also nonhuman or beyond human beings have equal rights as much as humans. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go deal with identity confusion, moral problems, and the hazardous consequences of technological developments in the human-centred world of posthuman beings. In Frankenstein, the creature's depression as a result of being rejected by Victor Frankenstein, as well as his rejection from society and his search for identity, are analysed using a posthumanist perspective. Similarly, Never Let Me Go deals with a dystopian world where people are cloned to survive longer. This study explains how these selected novels affect identities and ethical questions/roles in societies. In this respect, the purpose of this article is to compare and contrast Frankenstein and Never Let Me Go to show how they criticize the negative effects of technological developments by taking posthumanism as a literary theory into consideration.
