Abstract:With its focus on genetics, the mutant body, and social discrimination, the X-Men franchise explores themes pertinent to the health humanities. The 2017 film Logan sharpens this focus and presents a world that echoes many current social, political, and bioethical anxieties. In the film, as a result of widescale eugenics, natural-born mutants are on the verge of extinction while genetically engineered mutants are secretly manufactured as weapons. In this paper, we explore the theme of boundaries in order to examine various intersections in Logan, including the corporeal boundlessness of dying mutants, the transgressive exploits of biotechnology, the permeability of national borders, and the unbounded potential embodied by the remnants of mutantkind. The multi-vocal nature of our approach reflects the respective perspectives of our authors as well as the rich array of topical interpretive lenses which Logan invites, offering a powerful pedagogical tool to the health humanities, bioethics, and other disciplines.

从身体到边界和超越:洛根中的边界突变

摘要:X 战警系列专注于遗传学、突变体和社会歧视,探索与健康人文相关的主题。2017 年的电影《洛根》(Logan)突出了这一焦点,并呈现了一个与当前许多社会、政治和生物伦理焦虑相呼应的世界。在影片中,由于大规模的优生学,自然出生的突变体濒临灭绝,而基因工程突变体则被秘密制造为武器。在本文中,我们探讨了边界的主题,以检查洛根的各种交叉点,包括垂死变种人的肉体无限、生物技术的侵入性开发、国界的渗透性以及变种人残余所体现的无限潜力。
