Abstract

ABSTRACT This study explores representations of women, violence, and antihumanism in the Netflix original Love, Death & Robots animated anthology series. Drawing on the cyborg philosophical figure described by Donna Haraway in The Cyborg Manifesto and the posthumanist ideas of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, the text examines how posthuman representations are constructed. The present study begins with a literature review extending these theories. The first section under the main theme of “love and death” provides the intersecting narratives of sexual violence with love and women. In the second section “antihumanism” theme reveals the discourse that the series develops against humanist ideas through subheadings. Thus, the analysis section re-presents alternative ideas about the posthuman concept. In study, I argue that Love, Death & Robots have the masculine nature of perpetuating traditional gender stereotypes and rejecting humanistic philosophy at the beginning of the posthuman age. The TV show offers a unique textual rupturing, with its original take on the animated science fiction genre.
