“后人类”身体的嬗变及其媒介性——基于中国科幻文艺的考察

Replacement of“Post-human”body and the media:base on new media art of science fiction in China

随着现代科技的发展,后人类想象中的人类身体不断在科技的作用下被机械部件延伸和置换,生成为“赛博格”“信息主体”“普遍生命力”三种形式。在信息技术的作用下,人类身份随之发生变化,古典的人文主义仍未彻底退场,全新的“赛博朋克”“人机文明”提供了更丰富的审美可能性。科幻文艺以其独特的“未来考古学”,构成对身体在技术中的嬗变及其后果的深刻反思。由此形成基于后人类想象的新身体美学,它以审美的方式思考着碳硅生命体超越人种、物种局限的可能性,并将促成新生命哲学的发生。

With the development of modern science and technology,the human body in the imagination of posterity is continuously extended or replaced by mechanical parts under the influence of science and technology,resulting in three body forms:“cyborg”,“information subject”and“universal vitality”.Under the influence of information technology,human identity has changed accordingly.Classical humanism has not completely disappeared,but the new“cyberpunk”and“human-machine civilization”are creating richer aesthetic possibilities.Science fictions,with its unique“future archaeology”,brings about the transformation of human body with technology and constitutes a profound reflection on its consequences.Thus,a new body aesthetics based on post human imagination is formed,which reflects on the possibility that carbon silicon life would transcend the limitation of race and species in an aesthetic way,and will promote the emergence of new philosophy of life.
