Abstract

Recently, the terms of the fourth industrial revolution, deep running, artificial intelligence, post-human, and trans-human are frequently heard. These terms suggest that the rapid development of science and technology will make the future different from the present. However, rather than giving priority to striking a different future phenomenon, I think it is first of all to understand what kind of future technology or phenomenon is in the present stage. Therefore, in this study, in particular, the actual cases of linking or combining science and technology to the human body are increasing. So if you want to call this human being what kind of characteristics you have. To do this, I first looked at the meaning of trance, transformative, and trans humanism. Next, I looked at the relationship between science and technology and transhumanism. Next, we analyzed four transformative characteristics in the film Elysium and examined how it affects the understanding of transhumanism. This process will be the starting point for understanding post-human and post-humanism in the future.

최근 4차 산업혁명, 딥 러닝, 인공지능, 포스트휴먼, 트랜스휴먼 등의 용어가 자주 회자되고 있다. 이 용어들은 급격한 과학기술의 발달로 인해 미래는 지금과는 다른 모습이 될 것이라는 것을 짐작하게 한다. 그러나 지금과는 비약적으로 다른 미래 현상에 천착하는 것을 우선시하기 보다는 현재 그러한 미래 기술이나 현상이 어떤 단계에 있는지를 파악하는 것이 먼저가 아닐까 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 특히 과학기술을 사람의 몸에 연결 혹은 결합하는 실제 사례들이 늘어나면서 그렇다면 이러한 인간을 무엇이라고 부를 것이며, 어떤 특징을 가지고 있는지를 변화와 변형을 의미하는 트랜스포머티브를 영화 <엘리시움>을 통해서 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 위해 먼저 트랜스, 트랜스포머티브, 트랜스휴먼(니즘)의 의미를 알아보았고, 다음으로 과학기술과 트랜스휴머니즘의 관계를 살펴보았다. 이어서 영화 <엘리시움>에서의 트랜스포머티브 특징 4가지를 분석하고 그것이 트랜스휴머니즘을 이해하는데 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 알아보았다. 이러한 과정은 향후 포스트휴먼과 포스트휴머니즘을 이해하는 단초가 될 것이다.
