Abstract
In Alien Resurrection, Ripley’s hybridity catalyzes her unnatural individuation—a unique and significant contribution to the technological myth. Using an analytic framework created from Jung, Rushing, Frentz, and Haraway, I chart Ripley’s complex journey towards individuation, beginning with spiritual mentoring, moving through the mythic significance of her dual wounds, including her equally important double captivity, and the final challenge towards a hybrid mode of individuation in the form of her hideous offspring, the Newborn. The film suggests that the next hope for humanity is either its fragmented creations or the embracing of our own hybrid identities.
