From <I>Frankenstein</I> to <I>Ex Machina</I>: Recovering the Frankenstein Myth in Today’s Science Fiction Films and TV Series
Abstract:
Tato práce znovuobjevuje Frankensteinův mýtus ve sci-fi filmech a seriálech. Práce prezentuje Frankensteinův mýtus v jeho původní podobě, ve které je důraz na povinnosti stvořitele vůči stvořené bytosti. Tímto práce vyvrací dnešní verzi Frankensteinova mýtu, jehož forma je určována negativním pohledem na překračování hranic a snahy o poznání.
Abstract:
The thesis recovers the Frankenstein myth in science fiction films and television series. Contrary to the today's popular version limited only to the negative aspects of crossing a boundary and pursuit of knowledge, this thesis presents the Frankenstein myth in its original form, with its crucial factor of the behavior and responsibility of the creator to the created being.
