    Nyckelord :Scarlett Johansson; posthuman theory; feminist film theory; critical whiteness studies; Under the Skin; Her; Ghost in the Shell;

    Sammanfattning : This essay analyses the films Under the Skin, Her and Ghost in the Shell which all focus on the artificial woman, a character that is widely represented in both early films and in films produced today. Through feminist film theory, posthuman theory and critical whiteness studies this essay search to answer the question how the artificial woman (all portrayed by Scarlett Johansson) is portrayed in these films, how these films can be placed in an historical perspective and how they represent the technological “human” in a time when the boundary between science fiction and reality seems very thin.

It has recently been seen, given its ubiquity, as a critical driver and powerful catalyst for sustainable urban development due to its potential to enable substantial energy savings and GHG emissions reductions in most urban sectors, especially buildings.
