Symbols and images of cinema as tools of transhumanism in designing the future

Latysheva Natalia Alexandrovna

Modern global reality forms other norms and models of human behavior; shows examples of a new understanding of the old, established, values ​​and meanings. Among the trends in the development of the modern global world, transhumanism stands out, which generates its own image of the future in which the existing world and man are denied the right to exist. In this generation of the future, the ideologists and beneficiaries of transhumanism actively use modern types of fine arts, social networks and platforms, virtual reality technologies through which images and symbols of the transhumanist future are distributed. At the same time, in presenting the image of the future, the transhumanist imperative is the principle of “no other way is given” both in the format of utopia and in the format of dystopia. This is especially evident in modern cinema.

Keywords:transhumanism, ideologists of transhumanism, beneficiaries of transhumanism, tools of transhumanism, future, construction of the future, symbols of the future, images of the future.
