博弈·异化·救赎:《全息玫瑰碎片》的后身体书写

Rivalry,Alienation and Redemption:The Post-Body Writing of Burning Chrome

威廉·吉布森的科幻短篇小说集《全息玫瑰碎片》探析了后人类身体的博弈之战、异化之殇与救赎之道,书写了铭刻于后身体镜像之上的近未来文化隐喻。在新兴科技的赋形中,在场的身体在具身技术的武装下组建起人机耦合的新界面,成为具备统摄功能的权力意志本身;缺席的身体则被离身技术整合进灵肉分离的脱域机制中,深陷遭流放与贬值的困境。在资本权力的场域内,后人类身体以容器、媒介、景观等形式参与社会建构,在生产机器的操纵与消费文化的收编下阉割了主体意志与主体情感。在价值理性的观照下,小说以追求身体自治、尊重身体经验、建构主体间性的身体美学等方式呼唤着身体本位的回归,主张以科技人化之路为后人类的身体擎起价值依托。

William Gibson’s scientific fiction collection Burning Chrome explores the rivalry,alienation and redemption of the post-human body,depicting a metaphor of near-future culture inscribed on the body-mirror.Shaped by newly thriving technology,the present body armed with embodied technology forms a new interface of human-machine coupling and becomes the governing willpower itself,while the absent body is integrated with spirit-flesh separation by disembodied technology into the disembedding mechanism,trapped in the plight of exile and devaluation.In the sphere of capital,the post-human body participates in social construction in the form of container,medium and spectacle,and castrates the subject’s will and emotion under the manipulation of manufacturing machine and the incorporation of consumer culture.Based on value rationality,the collection calls for the return of body standard by pursuing bodily autonomy,respecting bodily experience,and constructing an inter-subjective body aesthetics,and advocates a path of technological humanization as the post body’s supporting value.
