Stranger Things, czyli kobiety i potwory

Abstract

In Nomadic Subjects Rosi Braidotti links women to technology on the one hand and to the monstrous on the other, writing about the triad of “mothers, monsters, and machines”. Marcela takes this as a point of departure to examine the different relationships within this triad. In literature and popular culture, the female body has given rise to fears linked not only to its reproductive function – the female body has also been represented as an ambivalent telecommunication tool. In the case the woman’s monstrous nature was associated with the possibility of entering, through her, into contact with the monster. Marcela analyses this theme with reference to Bram Stoker’s Dracula and to the television series Stranger Things, which alludes to the novel.
