Title The audiovisual representations of the cyborg: conceptualization and musical theory
Orientation:

Paula Gomes-Ribeiro

Scholarship Reference: FCT (SFRH/BD/145674/2019)
Resume:

The cyborg term coined in 1960 imagines enhanced human beings’ life in outer space. After Donna Haraway used a feminist perspective to develop the concept in 1985, the cyborg emancipated and marked academia, arts, and everyday life. This thesis purpose an investigation of music and cyborg relationships in European audiovisual media from 1999 to 2019. It intends to map and understand the cyborg as a technology of sign systems and its effects on musical interpretations in particular situations. A central question is: how do the discursive and non-discursive elements coexist and are related in and around cultural objects when media users try to make sense of cyborg configurations through music and vice-versa? I will use a post-structuralist paradigm and a mixed-methods approach to study a representative media sample. I intend to explore cultural processes that negotiate the meanings, associations, and expectations between cyborg figurations and sonic practices. The objective is to prove that audiovisual media cyborg characters serve as referents for producers and listeners to discuss everyday musical and social circumstances.
