Abstract

The increasing incorporation of technology to the human body is characterized as a process of hybridization or mixture. This machine-human hybrid has become object of inquire in the contemporary epistemological agenda The hybrid body or cyborg body operates as a problem of phenomenological experience such as semiotic systems that organizes the reality, its classification or organization into groups. Thus the purpose of the present paper is to analyze the hybrid body, its manifestations and movements, which establishes tensions between the concepts of art and the technology. It expects that this phenomenon will generate changes in the political and institutional representation of the body. From these bodies that are created in the merger with the technology, it is expected the generation of changes in existing body representations in politics and power institutions.
