    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a reading of the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still from 2008, tracing stories and articulations of what it means to be human, via three themes: encounters with the unknown, conflicts between value codes and finally, the role of communication and otherness in the production of humanity.
