| چکیده | ||
| The present paper intends to study Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go (2010) under Cyborgian concepts of hybridized subjectivity, speed, metamorphic becoming, bio-narrative and bio-discourse, which intersect with cyborg biotechnology to create the bio-capital characters. Ishiguro portrays the non-unitary bio-subjectivities along with challenges of clones through tracing the main character’s memories. The Cyborgian theories of Donna Haraway, Paul Virilio and Rosi Braidotti are mainly used to analyze the genetic organs of the selected novel in bio-discourse. The importance of cyborgian study locks up difference, drains its bio-power, merges borderlines between the conventional polarities, de-politicizes it by stemming inequality and injustice in a natural history of transhumanism and, ultimately, making cyborgian hybridized privileged – unprivileged subjectivity. Cyborg bio-capital body (partly organ and partly machine) is a kind of genetically modified object with a shifted boundary; a bio-semiotic body, not the human physiological body. The study finds out that cyborgian bio-capital subjectivity is the imitation of the original one due to three reasons: first, it has lost its human uniqueness; second, its self-automation is changed into a possible being; and, finally, its biological facet has constructed the equal bio-subjects. A cyborgian bio-capital subject is partly organ and partly machine in the book of life. The thematic features of Ishiguro’s novel as the quintessence of cyborg bio-narrative, including nomadic bio-subjectivity, development of fabricated trans-subjects, bio-animals, trans-genetic organisms, decentered subject, bio-molecule and mechanical body, are the focal points of analysis in this study. | ||
