The Adolescent Posthuman
View through CrossRef
Ferne Merrylees analyzes Julianna Baggott’s Pure and Marissa Meyer’s Cinder, concluding that both protagonists must accept their posthuman bodies, being organic and inorganic hybrids. Once Pressia and Cinder learn that embracing their Otherness makes them strong, they can move more freely in their dystopian worlds. Both novels narrate the ideological tensions between transhumanism and bioconservatism, as played out in the changing subjectivities of Pressia and Cinder. Neither position is privileged, as both stories illustrate how “technology is considered both the curse and the cure.” The struggles of Pressia and Cinder serve as analogues to 21st century adolescent anxieties regarding body image.
