AI, Femininity, and the Quest for Identity: A Feminist Exploration of Jeanty's 'Her' Series.

This research analyzes the interface of artificial intelligence, gender, and identity in Pierre Alex Jeanty’s Her trilogy using feminist theoretical analysis. Historically, women have always been treated as ‘the other’ in literature. In order to analyze the process of ‘othering’ the research employs Simone de Beauvoir’s “other” concept while Judith Butler’s performative theory and Donna Haraway’s Cyborg Manifesto to understand how AI embodies the same forms of alienation as women do in patriarchal societies. Jeanty’s poetry speaks of AI from a phenomenological perspective, revealing the concealed aspects of gender identity when it comes to the fragmentation of selves from emotions. It also invokes Luce Irigaray’s critique of phallocentric language with Rosi Braidotti’s posthuman feminism to show how AI reinvents the self and social relations fundamentally. The paper brought together feminist approaches to explain how Jeanty uses Artificial Intelligence in relation to the narrative of love, autonomy, and subjectivity giving a monologic view of the woman oppression in history.

Abstract

This research analyzes the interface of artificial intelligence, gender, and identity in Pierre Alex Jeanty’s Her trilogy using feminist theoretical analysis. Historically, women have always been treated as ‘the other’ in literature. In order to analyze the process of ‘othering’ the research employs Simone de Beauvoir’s “other” concept while Judith Butler’s performative theory and Donna Haraway’s Cyborg Manifesto to understand how AI embodies the same forms of alienation as women do in patriarchal societies. Jeanty’s poetry speaks of AI from a phenomenological perspective, revealing the concealed aspects of gender identity when it comes to the fragmentation of selves from emotions. It also invokes Luce Irigaray’s critique of phallocentric language with Rosi Braidotti’s posthuman feminism to show how AI reinvents the self and social relations fundamentally. The paper brought together feminist approaches to explain how Jeanty uses Artificial Intelligence in relation to the narrative of love, autonomy, and subjectivity giving a monologic view of the woman oppression in history.
