English abstract

The common thread of Pinocchio’s story is his desire to become a human being. Unlike some creators who approached the adventures of Pinocchio in the context of posthumanism the transhumanism embraces technological progress while strongly defending human rights and individual choice. Pinocchio is aware of his incompleteness: he seeks during the story to become „a real boy.” Human consciousness can refer to things that we do not perceive directly. Pinocchio is a „child” without a mother, created by his father to fill his loneliness. He highlights the current problem of the relationship between man and his creation, out of control.

Romanian abstract

Firul comun al poveștii lui Pinocchio este dorința lui de a deveni om. Spre deosebire de unii creatori care au abordat aventurile lui Pinocchio în contextul postumanismului, transumanismul îmbrățișează progresul tehnologic, apărând în același timp cu fermitate drepturile omului și alegerea individuală. Pinocchio este conștient de incompletitudinea lui: el caută în timpul poveștii să devină „un băiat adevărat”. Conștiința umană se poate referi la lucruri pe care nu le percepem în mod direct. Pinocchio este un „copil” fără mamă, creat de tatăl său pentru a-și umple singurătatea. El evidențiază problema actuală a relației dintre om și creația sa, scăpată de sub control.
