The Matrix Trilogy: A Technocultural Approach
Abstract
This chapter aims to analyze the techno-cultural narrative in The Matrix Trilogy by examining academic and popular sources. It outlines how themes such as place, time, and body, and the discourse of techno-culture (e.g., knowledge and power) are constructed from the perspective of narrative by using the method of qualitative content analysis. It is widely accepted that the genre science fiction has not only been a popular narrative, but also a discourse of “techno-culture” that usually refers to high technology, considering the epistemological background of the term. It refers to a period when the transfer of technique becomes ordinary and culture becomes technological where individuals who use technology as a part of their body in their daily lives are no longer regarded as robots but just people who benefit from technology. However, the chapter also discusses how the trilogy depicts a dystopian world where technology is not seen as a means of progress despite its apparent benefits.
