dc.description.abstractRecently, numerous scientific and technological advances have taken place and the idea of man as the measure of all things has been challenged by the flourishing manifestations of trans-/posthumanism. Therefore, what it means to be human has been questioned by various theoreticians like Cary Wolfe, N. Katherine Hayles, and Donna Haraway. In this regard, concepts like Self/Other, human/non-human, body/mind are analysed in the framework of trans- and posthumanism. Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake (2003) not only indicates a posthuman condition but also illustrates the question of identity regarding the characters. Consequently, this study discloses breaking points which involve issues of authenticity, othering, as well as identity explorations of the individuals based on post-/transhumanist theories and significant issues of the contemporary age. In addition, the study scrutinizes the human-nonhuman animal relationship and how it contributes to the identity formation of the human in a posthuman era.
