- Title
WE ARE ME, AND THEY ARE HIVE. INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE IDENTITY AS A RELATIONAL CHARACTERISTIC OF HUMANS SND ALIENS IN SCIENCE FICTION.
- Authors
Žikić, Bojan
- Abstract
The aim of this text is to show how the motif about collective mind / genetic memory of aliens is used as a mean for construction of the identification marker which substantially differs human from alien races, and which is built on the opposition between individual and collective identity as relational characteristics of humans, and their alien enemies. Examples from shows and films "Battlestar Galactica", "Star Trek", "Stargate", and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Third Beings)" will be used as explanatory material.
