Repetition and Difference : Posthuman.Diverse Species
隨著生物科技與基因編輯的推進,人類生存的慾望已幾近極致。當結合生化功能的人類已趨近不死,將未改造的「純人類」列入保育物種的時刻是否已然逼近?一次又一次的基因改造衝擊著各類物種,是人為介入的快速演化,引發顯著的差異化進程。
差異化已然成為人類目前的存在和思考模式,也成為一種解疆域化的狀態。如果藉由科技介入來改造人、改造其他物種,進而改造我們與他者的關係成為現實,成為信仰,那麼在朝向自由的同時,是否也逐步遠離了自由?一旦自由意志幽靈化,平等是否仍然存在?在此兩難下,該如何思考與建構後人類與多元物種的關係?
As biotechnology and genome editing advance every day, the human desire for survival has been taken to extremes. As human beings with biochemical functions border on immortality, is the time fast approaching that we will have to include unmodified “pure humans” on the list of protected species? Repeated genetic modification has affected every species on this planet. It’s a marked process of differentiation, a result of rapid evolution driven by human intervention.
Differentiation has become the current mode of human existence and thinking as well as a state of deterritorialization. If it becomes a reality and a belief to technologically modify humanity, other species, and then our relationship with the Other, are we also moving away from freedom as we march toward it? Once free will is phantomized, does equality still exist? With this dilemma , how can we forge a relationship between posthuman and diverse species?
