This research discusses the role of women within dystopian society reflected in the film Blade Runner 2049. This research aims to show how women’s bodies and their functions construct and shape the role of women in dystopian society reflected in Blade Runner 2049. To achieve the purpose of the research, the writer explores the role of women’s bodies in the film and how it determines the status and position of women in its society. Cyborgfeminism theory by Donna Haraway and postgenderism theory by James Hughes and George Dvorsky with a qualitative method are used to analyze the corpus. The results show that the role of women’s bodies in the dystopian society functions as a reproductive tools and that they are viewed as sexual commodities and valued for its sexual pleasure. Based on that, it can be said that the role of women in this film can be narrowed into two main roles: male’s sexual pleasure, and reproductive agents. In conclusion, this research can be used as a foreshadowing of how women and their roles will be in a dystopian society where the near-future capabilities of Artificial Intelligence and robotics may provide men as the superior gender which can dominate over the bodies and existence of women.
