2. Choose ONE of the characters from the film, I’m a Cyborg but That’s Okay, and discuss and analyze him or her in relation to Harraway’s notion of “posthumanism” in her article, i.e., the continuum between the human and the machine and between the human and the animal. (e.g., Young-Goon, Il-soon, Young-Goon’s grandmother, or any of the other characters in the psychiatric hospital.) Put another way, how would you imagine the notion of posthumanism help the character you’ve chosen to analyze to feel that he or she is okay, though he or she is a machine or an animal? (200 words)

3. Please discuss A and B separately. You don’t need to connect them in your response.

A) Using Richard Dyer’s notion of “stereotyping through iconography,” discuss, in the documentary, Koryo Saram: the Unreliable People, how the mainstream Soviet propaganda films used iconographic images of hardworking Koreans and produce a “positive” stereotype of an ethnic minority group.
