当代人类学视角中的“黑客”伦理与美学——以数码民族志《代码自由》为例

Contemporary Anthropological Perspectives on Ethics and Aesthetics of the “Hackers”——On Coding Freedom

本文以柯尔曼的民族志作品《代码自由》为主要参照案例,试图从人类学的视角审视和解读后工业化社会黑客群体的日常实践及其美学和伦理观,进而探讨人类学田野洞见对于揭示和理解特定情境中数字化生存方式的现实意义和价值。

This paper offers an anthropological perspective on the routine practices as well as the aesthetics and ethnics of hackers in the postindustrial society,using Colman’s digital ethnography Coding Freedom as a primary source of reference.It then seeks to explore the extent to which ethnographic insights contributes to a deeper understanding of the meanings and values of being digital within particular contexts.
