Re-assembling the Victorians: Steampunk, Cyborgs, and the Ethics of Industry by Helena Esser

“…Whether these encode ethical trespass or promise to remedy physical trauma, the ambiguous figure of the steam-cyborg may employ Victorian hopes and anxieties in order to reflect back our own concerns about human identity in the age of digital technology and fabricate more flexible alternatives. In my paper, I offer an analysis of the steampunk cyborg in literature, film and cosplay as a cultural metaphor, using post-human theory and steampunk’s own manifestos in order to examine how the cyborg re-negotiates industry, identity and agency via the neo-Victorian design aesthetic.…”
