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

“…Its counter-cultural core philosophy is built around a yearning for re-humanised technology that promises accessibility, vulnerability and individuation, following the credo ‘Love the machine, hate the factory’.1 While its machines, hailed as ‘real, breathing, coughing, struggling and rumbling parts of the world’,2 become humanised, humans may in turn become mechanised or fused with technology as steam-cyborgs. 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. …”
