Against Techical Disincarnation : A Hybrid Body ?
Fear of technical disincarnation tends to breed a reactionary moralism and a defensive fetishisation of
identity. This need not however be the case. Indeed the incorporation of technology, while it does
undoubtedly involve certain ecological and health risks, also opens up the possibility of constructing a
new corporeal identity. Contrary to the posthumanist hype and to the suggestions of a blinkered, dogmatic scientism, the hybrid body is already present within us. It has been there ever since we consented to
the introduction of an artificial environment within our biological systems. By revisiting certain Freudian
and Marxist preoccupations relative to the technical dis-incarnation of the body, and by addressing certain technophobic arguments currently put forward, the article examines the hybridisation of the body in
the era of the technobody, arguing that it is to be viewed as a process involving both the promise of emancipation and the risk of alienation. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
