中文摘要:
      厄休拉·勒奎因的《变化的位面》以斯威夫特式的艺术想象,虚构了两个过分使用基因技术进行身体修复和身体潜能扩张的故事,再现了当代技科学语境下的“技术态身体”现象。借助于基因改造的悲剧,故事展示了基因技术在试图突破人类认知和智力局限的同时,颠覆了“人类本质”,并带来了难以逆转的后人类之痛。文章追踪了作者对“后人类主义”技术观念的批判,指出该小说警示人类不要毫无顾忌地使用技术打破人类和非人类生命的界限,或无限拓展身体潜能,并强调了人类“精神性”对技术灾难的反向平衡作用。
English Summary:
      In a Swiftian artistic imagination, Ursula Le Guin's The Changing Planes fabricates two stories about the extreme prosthesis through the generic engineering, and represents “the technological bodies” in contemporary techno-scientific context. Through the tragedy of genetic modification, the stories demonstrate that genetic technology may subvert “the essence of man” and cause the irreparable post-human suffering when it is used to reach man's intelligent and cognitive breakthrough. This essay traces the criticism of posthuman ideology of technology, points out that the novel warns against the unbounded merger of mankind and the non-human lives for the purpose of extending bodily potentials by using genetic techniques, and emphasizes the human spirituality as a counter-balance for the technological disasters.
