Abstract

This article retrieves the evolution of characters and plots of western films that have expressed, at different historical moments, the expectations, hopes and fears of a civilization more and more contaminated by technology, leading to the so-called cyberculture. A text by André Lemos, a kind of prophet of modern times who extols cyborgs, has been used as a starting point for the present article. This text accurately retrieves, throughout the 110 years of cinematographic art, the nature of paradigmatic creatures in their representation of a world marked by a not always smooth relationship among man, technique, and culture.
