| Abstract | This article explores how the representation of technologically enhanced embodiments allow us to relate to posthuman identity’s different forms – including anthropomorphic manifestations of machines, cyborgs, and hybrids. I shall argue that through a nuanced endowment of personhood and its accompanying emotive/affective structure, representations of posthuman identities in modern picturebooks, particularly in Mary Liddell’s Little Machinery (1926) and Shaun Tan’s The Lost Thing (2004), undergo a pictorial shift from romanticizing the machine to celebrating a cyborgized republic grounded in companionship ethics. |
