Abstract:

Extinction narratives are typically divided into two streams: last human stories that usually depict apocalyptic ends for the planet, and last animal stories that cast a melancholy look at species finitude but view modernity continuing as usual. But as animal extinction rates are rising now across the planet, these narratives can no longer be seen as distinct. This essay discusses the convergence of these extinction plots in Octavia Butler’s Xenogenesis trilogy (also called Lilith’s Brood). Finished in 1989, this trilogy brings contemporary science on genetic modification and gene banking into the purview of a science fiction story about an alien species interested in mating with humans, a nearly extinct species due to nuclear war, in order to absorb their genetic material. Butler’s novel examines issues central to biopolitics and animal studies that appear specifically at the threshold of extinction events. This essay discusses the ways her novel calls upon the reader to think self-reflexively about how extinction and genetic knowledge intertwine in contemporary cultural and scientific debates about the decline of biodiversity.

Abstract:

This thesis considers the understudied issue of genetic engineering as it has been deployed in the literature of the late 20th century. With reference to the concept of the enlightened gender hybridity of Cyborg theory and an eye to ecocritical implications, I read four texts: Joan Slonczewski's 1986 science fiction novel A Door Into Ocean, Octavia Butler's science fiction trilogy Lilith's Brood – originally released between 1987 and 1989 as Xenogenesis – Simon Mawer's 1997 literary novel Mendel's Dwarf, and the first two books in Margaret Atwood's speculative fiction MaddAddam series: 2003's Oryx and Crake and 2009's The Year Of the Flood. I argue that the inclusion of genetic engineering has changed as the technology moves from science fiction to science fact, moving from the fantastic to the mundane. Throughout its recent literary history, genetic engineering has played a role in complicating questions of sexuality, paternity, and the division between nature and culture. It has also come to represent a nexus of potential cultural change, one which stands to fulfill the dramatic hybridity Haraway rhapsodized in her “Cyborg Manifesto” while also containing the potential to disrupt the ecocritical conversation by destroying what we used to understand as nature. Despite their four different takes on the issue, each of the texts I read offers a complex vision of utopian hopes and apocalyptic fears. They agree that, for better or for worse, genetic engineering is forever changing both our world and ourselves.<br>ID: 031001413; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Adviser: James Campbell.; Title from PDF title page (viewed June 14, 2013).; Thesis (M.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2012.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 180-187).<br>M.A.<br>Masters<br>English<br>Arts and Humanities<br>English; Literary, Cultural, and Textual Studies

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立中正大學<br>外國文學所<br>95<br>In the Octavia E. Butler’s Lilith’s Brood, Butler creates brand new human beings whose gender is fluid. However, new human beings’ fluid gender troubles human resisters in the story because most of them still think gender has to be stable. However, what makes new human beings’ gender fluid? In order to answer this question, this thesis divides into five parts. In the first part, the background of story and author will be introduced. In second part, the discussion focuses on human resisters’ gender is hailed by the interpellation of stable gender and as hailed subjects, they will regulate every subject whose gender is different from theirs. In the third part, by presenting interpellation of stable gender and medical knowledge which support the very interpellation cannot hail or stabilize new human beings’ gender, new human beings’ fluid gender will be shown. In the fourth part, the discussion will reveal that new human beings’ fluid gender is the caused by their unstable body. In the discussion, the youngest generation of new human beings’ unstable body and fluid gender will be examined. In the final part, it will summary the points made in former parts.
