Why is “It” Gendered - Constructing Gender in Alex Garland’s Ex-Machina (2015)

Alex Garland’s directorial debut, Ex-Machina (2015), follows the story of Caleb Smith who wins the opportunity to visit the CEO of his company and participate in a Turing Test with his creation, Ava. Drawing inspiration from the feminist critique of gender (Butler, 1990 ; de Beauvoir, 1949) the paper aims to position the cyborg’s body as an object of manipulation and control, as well as question the following presumptions: primarily, that the body of the cyborg is always gendered, despite the many technological possibilities of its construction, and secondarily, that male and female cyborgs share a completely different storyline.
