DO AUTOMATONS DREAM OF CYBER LOVERS?

Abstract:

This article, which has as its theoretical basis the concept of passion for the automaton, analyzes two orders of contemporary cultural productions: in one, the erotic bond between humans and robots where the theme of war used to prevail; in another, stands out the idea of a priori love compatibility between humans, which could be calculated by algorithms. In order to think about these aspects of the current erotic pathos, we use, on the one hand, the concept of digital condominium (tendency to narcissistic bubbles formation) and, on the other, the concept of cyborg (tendency to dissolve the modern split man/machine).
