International Journal of Linguistics, Philology and Literature</em> is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal, founded in 2010 and published by the Department of Letters, Languages and Cultural Heritage of the University of Cagliari. It published two issues, <em>Rhesis – Linguistics and Philology</em> and <em>Rhesis – Literature</em>, on a yearly basis. Both issues featured research articles and notes. In 2023, <em>Rhesis</em> underwent a significant shift in its publishing model, becoming an open access journal on the <a href="https://ojs.unica.it/">OJS </a>(Open Journal Systems) platform of the University of Cagliari. It also transitioned from publishing issues on a yearly basis to publishing articles continuously, as soon as they are accepted and typeset. This allows for a more frequent and timely dissemination of research.</p>https://ojs.unica.it/index.php/rhesis/article/view/6077Ways of Seeing2024-03-02T10:53:22+01:00Emanuela Piga Bruniemanuela.pigabruni@unimercatorum.it<p>Within a short period of time, two authors belonging to the realism genre published two novels focused on living with the artificial creature: Ian McEwan with Machines like Me and People like You, 2019, and Kazuo Ishiguro with Klara and The Sun, 2021.With these works, the authors tackle a range of ethical and existential issues that recur in the debate between philosophy, computer science, and bioengineering. Both come from a literary output that reveals interests in science and its related ethical implications, but not strictly framed in the science fiction genre. This essay sets out to interpret the two novels from a comparative perspective, and through the analysis of the narrative strategies adopted, particularly the point of view, aims to illuminate the different meanings that the representation of the artificial creature expresses in contemporary times.</p>2024-03-02T10:48:16+01:00##submission.copyrightStatement##
