Techno-Futures in Religious and Popular Art in the United States

This essay examines popular portrayals of superheroes and their technological enhancements in US culture to explore how they subtly reinforce US White and masculinist Christian views of the perfect body, feeding into a larger rhetoric of White American nationalism. Such a thesis may seen to be in direct contradiction to contemporary theological analyses of posthumanism that argue that enhancement technologies violate the sacred uniqueness of the human body. In contrast, the success of a film like Black Panther demonstrates that technological enhancements can also work imaginatively, to mitigate the racism experienced by African Americans in the United States.
