Les Méta-Barons, des cyborgs subversifs ? by Adrien Cascarino

“…To answer this question, this article focuses on the representation of transhuman bodies in La Caste des Méta-Barons, an 8-volume comic strip series written by Alejandro Jodorowsky, drawn by Juan Gimenez and published between 1992 and 2003.The study of this comic strip, contemporary with the beginnings of the transhumanist movement, but above all with the emergence of an ambivalent figure of the cyborg (Haraway, 1984), highlights a certain representation of the posthuman body, which pre-dates current developments on the question.Through the study of the narrative and graphic structure of these albums, this article shows that contrary to appearances, the transhuman bodies of the meta-barons, both cyborg and hybrid, are moving away from the ideal of a divine and all-powerful body and on the contrary blur the line between the augmented body and the disabled body, showing that any physical modification is accompanied by a loss, access to a truly augmented body then passing through the acceptance of this loss.…”
