      ab: This article proposes an analysis of the portrayal of relationships between nature and culture in figurations of feminity and masculinity in popular culture. Focusing on the cyborg figure deployed in the Star Trek film "First Contact," the author examines the ways in which the representation of the Borg Queen figure enrolls the audiences' consent to a vision of the cultural function of science and technology that legitimates masculine authority and a social model based on male-generated visions of progress. The author also examines how the figuration of the Borg Queen may entice audiences to envision the appropriation of the cultural function of science by women, through which traditional dichotomous understandings of the nature-culture relationship are reworked as fertile intersections.
