<b>Writing the mother, the mother writing: the space of motherhood and feminine <em>écriture in Alien</em> and <em>The Matrix</em></b> - DOI: 10.4025/actascilangcult.v32i1.5629
Abstract
The series of films Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), Alien (1992), and Alien Resurrection (1997), and the 1999 movie The Matrix illustrate the present state of technological advances in reproductive areas, and posit the anxiety such advances represents. In all these filmic texts, two main aspects are raised: the displacement of the female body as the site of motherhood, and the possibility that human reproduction might no longer need males and females to make it viable. In addition, the films suggest that technology is surely taking over many aspects of reproduction.Downloads
