McHugh)的《古墳之城》(Nekropolis),2003年艾特伍徳的《羚羊與秧雞》(Oryx and Crake),以及也於2003年出版的勒瑰恩(Ursula K. Le Guin)的短篇小說集《轉機》(Changing Planes),以探索新世紀女性科幻小說如何勾勒後人類圖譜,省思後人類願景和可能影響。第二年的子題則為:「當代台灣女性科幻與後人類想像」,擬探究數篇當代台灣女性科幻小說,如張曉風的〈潘渡娜〉(1968)、平路八0年代的〈驚夢曲〉(1985)和九0年代的〈人工智慧紀事〉(1997)、鄭寶娟的〈迢迢歸鄉路〉(1986)和晚近的長篇《桃莉紀元的愛與死》(2003)等,以檢視其如何呈現「後人類」議題,並試圖由比較的觀點,探索此一橫向移植的文類,如何與西方女性科幻對話?又是否有在地化的脈絡可尋? 三本新世紀的女性科幻,呈現「後人類想像」的駁雜層面,以及其與當代各色議<br> Abstract: This two-year project attempts to explore the construction of the posthuman in contemporary science fiction by women. The first-year project is a study of three 21st century science fiction novels with an aim to uncovering their mapping of the posthuman and their critique of the posthuman condition. Maureen F. McHugh’s Nekropolis (2001), Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake (2003), and Ursula K. Le Guin’s Changing Planes (2003) all contribute to the construction of the posthuman map that revolves around the axes of body/subjectivity/ technology /globalization. By portraying genetically altered species, artificially created ‘persons,’ and even love stories between ‘humans’ and ‘non-humans,’ these three texts attempt to problematize traditional boundaries, inquire into the role played by technology, and investigate the implication of globalization. They are centrally concerned with the adverse or even catastrophic impact transnational corporate power and technological tycoons may have on humans. As science fictional novels by women writers, moreover, these texts are especially interesting for an inquiry into how perception of gender may interact with the posthuman discourse. The second-year project, a study of various contemporary Taiwanese science fiction short stories and novels by women, aims to investigate how the issue of the posthuman grips the imagination of Taiwanese women writers and whether, from a comparative perspective, contemporary Taiwanese science fiction by women harbors any unique perspective. From 1968 on, Taiwanese science fiction short stories and novels by women have portrayed a tapestry of themes in the sphere of the posthuman: artificially created ‘humans,’ cyborgs, robotics, hereditary science, genetic engineering, and so on. Nevertheless, with only a few exceptions, most of them are heavily influenced by their western counterparts and do not have any unique local perspective to offer.女性科幻後人類science fiction by womenposthuman女性科幻與後人類想像
