Winterson’s Cyborg Dream in Frankissstein

Öz

Contemporary British novelist Jeanette Winterson does not remain indifferent to advancing science and technology and makes an impressive contribution to science fiction with her novel Frankissstein: A Love Story (2019). The aim of this study is to grasp Winterson’s feminist perspective on the human body and explore its parallels with Donna Haraway’s cyborg theory. Haraway emphasizes that despite progress, feminists have yet to reach a point satisfied within their struggle for rights. According to her, the only way to achieve equality is to create genderless cyborg monsters. Winterson is also aware of the great impact of the phallocentric system on all existing politics such as social and cultural. She explicitly voices the idea of human and technology fusion to upheave the classic concept of the body. In the novel, Victor Stein’s artificial intelligence has a body that does not fit into any mould – a body that will never grow old or reproduce. Nevertheless, Winterson’s disembodied beast does not last forever.
