西方科幻技术想象图谱——从机器拜物教到后人类情动

Picture of Technical Imagination in Western Science Fiction:From Machine Fetishism to Posthuman Affection

人与技术的关系是西方科幻小说中的关键性问题。随着技术精英阶层在现代社会中的形成,坎贝尔式科幻奠定了技术在科幻发展历程中的核心地位,技术成为人身体和意志的双重扩张。而当技术崇拜走向极端,后工业时代的技术想象逐渐嬗变为一种规训社会的恐怖性图景,科幻作家通过隐喻性书写对此展开了强烈而富有深度的反思与批判,也开启了逆转人与技术主客定式的后人类思考,为镜鉴当前和想象未来提供了一幅新的超越性图景。

The relationship between humanity and technology is a key issue in western science fiction.With the formation of technical elites in modern society,Campbell's style SF had laid the core position of technology in the development course of SF,and technology had expanded human body and will.When technology worship goes to the extreme and technological imagination in the post-industrial era gradually evolves into a horrible picture of disciplining society,SF writers have launched a profound reflection on it through metaphorical writing,and also opened the posthuman thinking that reverses the subjectivism of humanity and technology,providing a new picture for the reflection of the present and the imagination of the future.
