<Abstract>

The purpose of this paper is to examine the emergence of posthuman and its perception of the body. We did not limit our perception of the body to post-humans. By looking at the theories of Deleuze and Guattari, we learned that the function of each organ of the body was defined by the reasoning of modernity. The organ that is the body can perform any role. This fact can be understood by realizing the body’s organ cannot be defined as something. We also paid attention to Surrealism, which rebelled against the existing order of the body and attempted a free combination of body parts. In particular, Hal Foster discovered that the order given to the body by modernity was dismantled in Hans Bellmer’s work. The posthuman has an enhanced body. And the organs of the body can play a number of roles that we cannot conceive of. To confirm the theoretical issues raised by the case, we examined the representation pattern of the posthuman in the drama “Yeowoo Gaksibyeol”.
