This thesis identifies manifestations of the genetic imaginary throughout Vincenzo Natali’s Splice (2009) and Ridley Scott’s Prometheus (2012), with regard to their releases as coinciding with the close of a thirty-odd-year timeline characterized by progressive legislation over gene-centric science, and instigated by publication of the first genetics and bioengineering periodical. I borrow from and develop Jackie Stacey’s methodology in The Cinematic Life of the Gene, wherein she identifies “the decade of the clone”: a nine-year glut of milestone advances in cloning science. Advancing Stacey’s model, I draw a pivotal distinction between circulation of genetic imaginary discourse via hard copy media, and mass dissemination of the same, via personal digital platforms such as massively capable smartphone and tablet devices.
