Abstract

In the context of the modern super-technological, technofetishist paradigm, the category of corporeality is fundamentally transformed, and the phenomenon of the body is increasingly conceptualised and interpreted through notions of formless, structureless formations that exist as a configuration of surfaces (screen body, antibody, body without organs, zero body, body without space). In the context of a technologised, digital environment, with the development and spread of transhumanist ideas, a number of philosophical problems become particularly relevant, among them going beyond the limits of the human, the body's detachment from its own topography, and the elusiveness of subjectivity. This article attempts to describe these metamorphoses on the example of Julia Ducournau's film "Titan", based on the concept of utopianisation of the body proposed by Michel Foucault in 1966 as part of the radio programme "French Culture".
