| dc.description.abstract | Just like at the beginning of the 19th century, in the 20th and 21st century the advancements in technology have led to the increase of science fiction that deals with the ethical concerns related to humanity and human life. Mary Shelley Frankenstein in 1818 questioned who is able to create life and how. Jeanette Winterson rewrites these topics in her novel Frankissstein and puts the question of human life and the human body into dialogue with transhumanist philosophy and transgender embodiment. Because of this, the thesis aims to find out how transhumanism and different transhuman bodies are portrayed in Jeanette Winterson’s Frankissstein: A Love Story (2018) | et |
