Cím:	Artificial Intelligence and Gender Performativity in William Gibson's Idoru / Bülgözdi Imola
Dátum:	2019
Megjegyzések:	Rei's only reality is the realm of ongoing serial creation?. Entirely process; infinitely more than the combined sum of her various selves.'1 This definition of the idoru closely resonates with ideas proposed by Judith Butler in her seminal essay ♭Performative Acts and Gender Constitution: An Essay in Phenomenology and Feminist Theory' (1988). At the same time, the idoru, a personality construct, is nothing more than information, ♭some unthinkable volume of information, ' and yet, she has dreams. The marriage announcement of a famous musician to a Japanese virtual media star leaves fans and friends baffled, while Gibson further probes into the question of the humanity or, lack thereof, of artificial intelligence that is already present in the Sprawl trilogy. In this novel, however, the idoru has a very visible female persona which is also capable of interacting through a holographic representation in real time. My chapter will explore, firstly, the links between Butler's gender performativity and the idoru's performance of a human identity; secondly, the surprising similarities between the data traces and fan activity of the two celebrities, one human and the other virtual; and finally, the discrepancy between performed virtual gender identity and flesh-and-blood person of various female characters. Last but not least, data analyst Laney's climactic discovery has to be discussed as well: his analysis of Rez and Rei's data imprints shows how the idoru learns through interaction: she acquires complexity, randomness, and what he calls ♭the human thing.' Here Gibson forges another amazing link between computer science and humanity: the idoru induced the nodal vision as no one before-as narrative, a pivotal element of human identity, which takes the form of the narrative of the self, according to sociologists Anthony Giddens and Stuart Hall.
