"Man Made and Remade: the Avatars of Masculinity in Robocop (1987) and its Remake (2014)"

Résumé

Masculinity, for Pierre Bourdieu in La domination masculine, is first and foremost a rather exacting programme for men; cybernetics is originally the science studying the mechanisms of communication and control, in machines but also men. The cyborg Robocop, “part-man, part-machine, all cop,” as the slogan claimed on the original film’s poster in 1987, is the ideal vantage point from which to begin an examination of how the supposedly deterministic aspect of masculinity is only relative, a matter of social construction. The status of the 2014 iteration, a remake, implies its confrontation with the original and the necessity for it to exist relatedly to it but also independently from it, presumably helping it come to this realization.
