The contradictions & complexities of the cyborg therefore hold particular appeal to program makers of dramatic TV narratives. Bronwen Calvert examines the uses & representations of the cyborg in this ground-breaking text, by looking at its frequent appearance in a wide variety of popular & cult shows: from the iconic Daleks of Doctor Who & bionic female empowerment in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, to the duality of humanoid & distinctly robotic cyborgs in Battlestar Galactica. In doing so, she reveals how television's defining traits shape our experience of cyborgs & help us as viewers to question contemporary issues such as surveillance & terrorism, as well as the function of simulation & ultimately what it means to be human.Bronwen Calvertis an associate lecturer with the Open University in theNorth of England. Her research looks at embodiment in fantasy & science fiction narratives, with particular focus on cyberpunk fiction &the‘cult’ female action hero of television.
